3 Link upper Mount Material

[Truck21]

Hello All,



I read and search this site often. Thank you to everyone who contributes.

I am starting to fabricate my offset 3 link and would like to bounce a couple ideas of you.

I am using the mounting points found from Billy Shope's site. I have the Milliken and Carroll Smith books.

I think I've found the materials to use for the shock tabs and lower mounts. 1/4 steel laser cut.

My question is can I use 3x3 .187 wall square tubing for the upper mount? I would also like to mount the panhard bar to the mount so the extra strength seems intelligent.

I have 2.625 forged poly bushings for the 3 link ends They are 3/4 14 thread. I'm going to use Johnny Joints for the panhard bar. I want the least lateral movement.

Also is 1 x .157 wall enough? I was going to use 1.25 x .281 wall if that's not overkill.

I will post pics of the setup when done.

Thanks
Bill
