Trac bar modification

Seems like I remember someone modifying the rear adjustable Trac bar from Rubicon express and placing a heim joint in instead of the rubber bushing. What heim joint did you use? Where did you get it?

I just used a standard 3/4-16 x 3/4" bore rod end and a tube adapter. Nothing special.

Basically you just add another rod end like the one that is on the right side of the picture, to replace the rubber bushing on the other end.
I went here rod end and here tube adapter for the parts. You also want to buy a jam nut which I also saw at the above site. I don't know what the inside dia. of the tube is. So before I order those parts I will make sure that the tube adapter will fit inside the trac bar. It also looks like Grainger and McMastercarr also have the parts. I'll take a few pics when I do mine.
