I modified mine using a poly bushing and sandwiching the toe link with a washer and welded it solid. One of trhe best improvements to the way a 1g feels.

I wonder, do you guys think I should order heim ends, or just sell the slug prethreaded and let you guys pick the heim end? I'm tempted to just leave it up to the installer to spend as much or as little on the heim end as you want.

It'll be threaded for a 7/8-14 RH rod end - I BELIEVE this is the same size as the Jay Racing rod end. You can get a 45,000lb chromoly static load heim for it if you want (as they include) but I really don't think one that beefy is necessary.

I could go either way... if there's not a substantial price difference I'd rather have the bearing pre-installed.

well, the difference between a basic heim rod end and a nicer one is about ~$25 each per end, so about $50 total... fairly substantial. I'll look into this more.

I am interested in a set also.

awesome JET, i'll keep this thread updated. Prototypes are a bit delayed but I'm told they'll be done tonight. Working with machinist on getting a cost for a larger order.

Oh, and after talking to the machinist I realized I can bring the cost down a lot by just replicating what Jay Racing does, just the short slug you weld in. My prototype is longer and has the flat section with bolt hole to secure in the stock location. I'm thinking about offering both alternatives, but the shorter slug will be quite a bit cheaper to make.

I haven't decided if i'm going to do them like that, or shorter and weld-in only like the Jay's ones. These things are pretty beefy/heavy with that much steel - maybe excessive (4 lbs 6 oz each with rod end). I'll hopefully have firm pricing by the end of the week, again sorry about that.

I may also ask for deposits... is that reasonable?

Thoughts/feedback appreciated.

They're in! I had to clean up/clearance the insides of the trailing arms thoroughly with a carbide porting bit, but nothing too crazy. I'm not sure these big long ones are worth it. I might just make shorter ones that you have to weld in. You definitely don't need to weld these though. It took some wacking with a 5lb sledge and piece of wood, and the bolt went through perfectly.

This is a way involved switch up. I guess a good time to replace your subframe bushings ect as well. Hmmm The J kit sold for 175 i would probably be interested in a price quote 4 SURE!
