sas questions

2"x.250" DOM. Length depends on your application. The most logical place for my crossmember was between my doubler case and my t-case. That put my arms at like 47" from the floor to the eye of the joint (pic where they're standing up on the shop floor). They're a little long, but not too ridiculous. Though they are covered in rock rash, I don't think I'll bend one with my wheeling style. Here's a link to a pic so I don't muddy up your thread with pics of my truck haha.

Man my truck was so clean. Just a fair warning, your body panels have a tendency to deform a bit after you complete the sas

wow your truck is clean! do you know where i can order the dom tubing cheapest? my friend can get it for me at wholesale but only in 25 foot pieces and since it looks like ill be having different sizes for steering and radius arms i really dont want to go that route

I know ballistic fab sells it by the foot, you should check them out.

Correction - WAS clean haha. It still cleans up decent but its not so straight anymore.

I got my DOM from a local steel shop. Shit's not cheap that's for sure. You can get it from an online vendor but you'll be paying big bucks to ship it. I'd look around and see if you can find anyplace locally that doesn't require a minimum order.

You'll know when you have your old frontend torn out and you're mocking up the buckets.
