    Converting kp bushed bar ends to heims

    So since installing, I've been tearing up bushings every couple of months. I never hit sides. So I went ahead and changed out the bar ends to heims, for a little bit of articulation. I can't do the uppers just yet, because to set pinion I had to extend them more threads than a regular heim...

    sup guys, since specialty suspension stole my money for a step notch. I will be building my own from box or rectangle tubing. Just wanted to get some opinions on which would be better to use strength and fit up wise? Leaning towards whichever one is easier to fitup as im fairly sure the...
