I just did this myself John. Bimmertech is right - there are 3 common sizes. WHen I Vernier'd mine, it turns out I have (what I think to be an oddball) 30 MM bar.

Good luck.

You did better than I. I could not even find mine on Summit IIRC. ES does list 30mm as a possible size though (some graduations are as small as 1/16", which made me wonder if I was off by a hair).

Good luck - dont forget end links if you need them.

Sweet man. Sounds like a good project. Dont forget little stuff like spring isolators, strut bushings (if you dont have CC's) and so on. Have fun!

Other than having fun trying to do the inner tie rods (on a fox, you gotta drill out a roll pin deal and use a rented tool to get them off. Not sure on the SN's though), I think you have it covered.

I did use Poly boots on the front suspension (tie rods, etc) just for fun.

Motor, trans and crossmember mounts, though unrelated, might be an idea.

As you can see from my tangent ramblings, I cant think of anything you are missing though John.
