Disclaimer: i used what i had to build this, and i suck at documentation so thats why there is lackl of detailed pics.
heres what i did. i ordered two heim joints, 5/8" then built boxes for them from cutting one edge off some subframe stock i had (heavy stuff) then i reinforced it with welded washers on the bracked side, and just another layer of steel welded on the "structure breacket" side. i then made a bracket for the axle side by using some sheet metal i had . this was pretty easy, cut weld, not much measuring here. then i made mounting plates (u channels) from the same subframe stock i had and widening it. then i placed the slotted end where i wanted int by using the tape measure, level and angle finder, i then cut some heavy 1" od pipe i had for a off road buggy frame. welded it all up, welded to the fame, measured my "bar" length, cut and installed bar. my design looks alot heavier from a MM piece, i overbuilt it so it definately holds up with the torque arm that im building next
only bad thing is i boxed my ends, so to get the bar out, i have to take the whole bracket off the axle, ill give up removal ease for strength on this one though. one end is left hand threads so i can adjust it in the brackets.
i have a couple more pics on my cardomain
heim "boxes"
the bracket goes on the axle, uses the lower controll arm bolt and one of the shock bolts to hold it on, retaining the stock shock mount.
