They seem pretty decent. I know a few people with them but they don't wheel as stupid as I do.
If you have the ability to make some out of DOM I would go for it. The hard/expensive part is getting the tubing adapters threaded to the Rover TRE thread. Ian(CUPGT) got some custom made from someplace in Colorado I think.

They seem much stronger. Thickness and weight.
Not Dom, though
I covered mine with a skid because I still didn't think I want to test their strength

He told me the thread 11/16 x18 but I do not know the o.d. to fit into the tubing and think there are 2 other dimensions needed

Summit Machine - Products and Custom Parts

1.5 x .25 Dom tubing

Fish eh I would order next week when I get back but but I don't know all the dimensions we need on that link I posted

TOM R

did you shop the TF links? if so any great prices?
I need to replace mine also;
RN looked like the best price for TF $240. proline $220.
AB sells their version of hd links (28mm) but they are $150.ea and you still need to buy tie rod ends.
The TF and pro line are both 30 mm.

A = 1"
B = 1.5"
C = 11/16"
D = 3/8" maybe??

Did they give you an idea on pricing? What about Jam Nuts? We're you thinking all RHT?
