allright fellas...im thru baggin,what u think??

Looks cool, I like the old school look too

Only thing I am not sure about is the whole welding leaf spring bushings idea. Im almost positive that you shouldnt weld to spring steel (except maybe drag plates) because its more brittle. show some pics of the way you did it though, maybe the plate you mentioned over the bushings is fine. You can get DOM Tube bar ends with Poly Bushings and Sleeves pretty cheap too though.

Wouldn't the stock bushing allow it to have some side to side movement though???

if you are referring to the other comments about needing a panhard/locating device.. the stock bushings allow a little flex, but think about it.. there is the whole leaf and its connected at BOTH ends not just one.

Yea, thats what i was talking about wouldn't the hole ass end wanna move from side to side on the stock front leaf bushings?

he has a bar welded between the 2 bars...but nonetheless, it will still move back and forth

i have a 2link with a bar welded between the bars, plus a panhard bar...the rear is really stable, doesn't move when im turning at all...i took the panhard off one day to see if handles different, and it did a lot, because the stress is on bushings and they begin to flex, and that is with aftermarket bushings (whatever SD sells with their bar ends). just imagine a stock leaf spring bushing, which was designed to articulate, also notice if im not mistaken the bushing has an arc to it, which is there to help the leafspring with extrenuous suspension articulation

just run a panhard, and you should be fine

but i'd still rather get some bar ends or something rather than those stock leaf spring bushings...u can get a pair of slide on threaded bar ends from SD, made to slide inside a 2x2x.25 inch box tubing, good stuff

i think its time for u to bag my truck now LOL

yeah i seen those and ill be getting some soon

good deal

shave that truck up now man
