Seen! ....gonna check out princessauto and see if i can fab something up-even though i only have 2.5"lift right now, all i'll have to do is switch out the threaded rod.
btw RF do you happen to know the size the SS threaded rod is, and the size of bolt that goes though the rod end bearing? looks like a 17 or 18mm socket for the head of the bolt but cannot tell through the picture..unless you know if its a 1/2" opening in the rod end bearing
do you know if they make them for the 1500 or do you have to make them yourself?

The threaded rod is 5/8 fine thread. You won't find it at home depot or lowes, they only carry that size in coarse thread soft steel You'll need to order it from fastenal, grainger, mcmaster carr, or somewhere like that. Make sure you get a hardened rod because cheap soft steel will rust up and bend on you. Plus it will look like crap. I have no idea what size the joint bolts are, mine were already assembled. You typically order those when you order your heim joint, so that shouldn't be an issue.
yea princessauto here in canada has them--its awesome, has all specialty tools and fabriction materials--hydraulic cyclinders and stuff like that...basically anything you need to make rollcages to wood splitters
thanks RF
