83 pickup that went full buggy,

Another vote for USD suck and touch the front......Honestly I wouldn't touch front or rear.

Swing doors are all the rage. I personnel like the feeling of sitting deep inside a buggy. Doors would take that away for me.

Agreed, that's why I just get in and out less now instead of hacking my door bars out.

new lower links made up this weekend with new heims also. i went with 2.25 x .375 wall dom because my 2in x.25 wall kept bending.

replaced the lower links this weekend
went with 2.25 x .375 wall thickness because 2 in x .25 wall bent too easy. and put new lower heims on too.

we got this DOM for 25 per foot. i think i used 12 foot total. or real close to that.

and i made a chin to protect the new ram. welded it to the tmr mount and called it good. the main bar is some of directional drill steel, hard as hell, reminds me of the steel that back hoe teeth are made from but more flexible to a degree. i think it will hold up great.

i do too i was unsure at first but had to just bend up a tube and do it. once it was up there i was like thats it..... nailed it.. really worried the bends would be too big a radius and look weird but i dont think so.

That's insane, I haven't bought anything that thick in along time though.

At $25 per foot could you not have just got WOD to build some 7075 Aluminum links? between the cost of the DOM, weld bungs and welding supplies I bet it was close. I'm always shocked how cheap they are. I can't buy the material for what they sell the complete link for!

i have 300 in steel plus the added bonus of a back ache the next day after man handlining them about 80 times up and down the day i installed them. cost i am not sure about because my math said this for my rear link my rear was 38 inches i think 36 with steel because of weld in bung.

this is one bar. jusy the rear. it said 2.70 per inch. and who knows i may have messed up the math. lol
