    so out of my random pile of pipe next to the garage all i got is 2-1/4" pipe (good for 5,625 hp :jester:) so that's too big it would look goofy

    I think you could get some Heims from fastenal here. But if I were you I'd just use bushings an a sleeve.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    man, i need to do some trac bars BAD. my axle wrap is ridiculous. I almost went squirrely this morning while i was going straight down the freeway and just hit the peddle. me no likey.

    so, here's the order we should do:

    trac bars
    projectors
    bumpers

    I might be able to get us a deal on some Heim joints since we would be gettin several.

    Hahaha sounds good! I might leave the front how it is and just build a rear bumper once I find a design I like

    Personally I don't like Heims for traction bars because they allow the bar to rotate a small amount. Just build some with a threaded bushing an sleeve an it'll be cheaper. No difference in performance.
