I would say no, but that rod end looks to have more mass than most. 1/2" bolt should be fine.
I'd use a bushing just to give it an extra point to flex. That's a binding suspension so the bushings have to give when it flexes. Works fine for me.
What size tube are those lower links? Look a little small.
its 1/4 wall, cant think of the OD right off hand
After looking, its 1.5 OD with .250 wall.
I dont think it is gonna be thick enough for lower links rowdy, i would sleeve it with 1.75" .120 wall hrew
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Yea, that was my thought, but thats the way it came and already welded right now but we will see.
Why no hydroboost brakes?

looking at your front shock mount....will it bind (hit the side of the tube) on your mount as the suspension cycles. it's going to move front to back and looks close.
yea but i think it will be ok. that was one of my issues but it bad comes to worse ill bend them out a bit. The vacuum boost was free and didnt have a hydroboost setup around.
hoops would look better. remember, these are not just shocks, they are carrying the vehicle weight. a cross brace may be in order. that frame doesnt look like very rigid. is it even boxed?
its boxed from the factory. hoops are defantly in order. there will be a cross brace.
How bout using johnny joints on the shackle end of the springs. i have a set of johnny joints laying around and dont feel like buying bushings at the moment. Ive heard mixed reviews from the toyota peeps so any input will be apprecated.
On another note: Does anybody have a set of shock hoops for sale. Garrett sold his apperantly so im in need of a set.
They're cheap, just buy them. Or don't you have access to a bender?
no bender
I have seen suspension kits where there is a pivot bolt running parrallel to the frame for Chevies and people that have used them say they are horribly unstable on the road so I would say no to the JJ's.
