Hey guys Im building a wishbone 4 link for my truck and I've decided to use some heims this time. Never used them before so my question is if I am building a wishbone with sleeve bags on top of the axle... Its just a hardbody.. Next question is should i use misalignment spacers or cone spacers? Is 5\8 heim big enough or should I go with 3\4? Also Im running 1 1\4 .120 wall tubing... thanks yall....

I would run a 3/4" heim with a 5/8" misalignment spacer. I sell a "kit" like this with the heim, spacers, and weld in bung (that will fit 1-1/4" X .120) for $80. They do make cheaper versions and I can get those for you as well, but I prefer to use ones with a bit more strength. I sell FK Bearings only though. Email me if you're interested. Tre5peter@cox.net

I'd run the full bodied 3/4" Heim joints. Thats what I have on my Hardbody but I machined my own spacers. Either spacer will probably be fine.

Use 3/4". On a wishbone you need to step the size up since the entire rear weight of the vehicle gets loaded onto that single joint.
