Just went with some Grade 8 1/2". Just slightly smaller diameter. I want to say the factory were probaly m14's so just a few hundreths of an inch off. Can't remember the length but about 1/2" longer than factory. If I remember, I'll take a quick measurements when I get home.
No biggie. I can get some of that description.

Hey do you have more photos of your strut tower reinforcement? I see the lower limit strap mounts to the LCA via the old sway bar mount, but the upper would mount via a generic weld on mount? Have you seen this kit installed in conjunction with the TC upper coil bucket gusset kit? I am planning on finally getting some legitimate coilovers and have been known to send it, so I want to beef up both.
I have the TC gussets on mine. I have 10" straps (which are an inch or two too long. My adjusters are maxed out right now. Get 8" or 9" straps). You'll need to get the upper mounts on your own when order straps, whether it's adjustable clevis or just a weld on tab. It works fine with the TC gusset kit though.

Derp didn't realize it hooks into the shock mount location. I thought they were the sway bar tabs for some reason. Thanks! And you welded the top one in? Or just bolted it through the shock/tower. Seems like people have different opinions on welding that top one in or just bolting it on.
Top one is welded in. Bolting it is a huge improvement over stock, but I think welding it is a much better option. If you are already welding on the limit strap tabs and clevis mounts, might as well burn in the strut top plates at the same time.
well that's tasty.
Where's our 4th gen axle side reinforcements @eimkeith ?
OK, some Twilight Zone shit here. The bend shop doesn't have a recollection of the order (or the email), and my printed prototypes (that I keep at my shop) have disappeared.
Starting over with proofing prints, then re-ordering. sigh. 4 weeks or so.
Just a little grinding to get it to fall right into place. Did a lot of extra welding and grinding to make it look purdy. Thanks again for a great product to beef up the stock rear link tabs.well that's tasty.
yeah, those are the discounted first-run parts - I just reordered with some revisions for the folk who can't fab.

Your "discontinued" parts runs hardly require more then a lump hammer and an angle grinder. lol

Is okay. I'm about out of money right now. Hopefully I'll be back on a job in 4 weeks.
