nebody done this b4?

yea i've been wanting to do this so i can put the shock on the bar that is attached to the a-arm

prolly 3/16" thickness too?

here it is done on a mazda.

at leat 1" OD 3/16 wall DOM tubing, but hey overkill it and go with 1 1/4.

would a 2" bushing be a good size to use?

2 inch length, OD what dimension are we talking.

1/4" wall. SD sells them

I got tube arms from the now defunct kustom werks I like them alot and now can do sells them along with grant kustoms well worth the money but this mod seems a lot cheap and has the same results

So just like eliminating the strut rods on a mustang II setup. Wow never looked at it like that.

I've done it a few times, it works well, havn't had any issues. Just build it off the truck. I use some tubing or conduit or whatever fits snugly in the hole. I normally use 1" .25 wall DOM with a Pete and Jakes 4-link bushing. It gives a nice place to mount the shock also.
