The cost was up there, I probibally could have bought a set for what I made these for. The joints were about $80 each and the tubing was $17/foot.

The purpose of the bars is to keep the axle from wrapping. They do wrap some stock but with an automatic it is not nearly as bad as with a stick. Now that I am well above stock it wraps really bad, espically when pulling a trailer.

Anyone who is coming over tomorrow to work on thier truck Bobby & Tim need to bring kerosene or gas. The bullet heater works better on kero than diesel.

Thats cool, i was gonna say how the hell did you know i needed to change my oil this weekend lol. But since the lifts are going to be taken up all weekend i guess i will just hold off a little longer. Can a reserve a 1 hour lift time maybe next weekend or some night the upcoming week?
