Jim's are a version of those on Garry's jeep. We made a few upgrades for the more extreme forces encountered with the longer leverages of the longer arms.

The diameter is the same, it is now heat treated to about 40 Rockwell. Not hard enough to be brittle, but hard enough to be tough. There is only swaging on one end for the 1 1/4-12 threads of the aircraft grade rod ends, the other end is a 4130 sleeve to accept the standard RE long arm Clevite bushing.

I had an exceptional welder attach the two together for me, and he did a nice job with the tig torch. I have no doubt these will exceed any demands that Jim can place upon them.

It is not who you know, It is who knows you
Jeeps do not make jeepers, jeepers make Jeeps.
