Heims/rod ends/link parts
« on: May 13, 2007, 11:30:38 PM »
Where do you guys find your link parts, specifically heims/rod ends.  I am in the market for some and can't really find what I want(also not sure what I want yet).  I checked out Shaffer's and Poly Performance, the only two names that really came to mind.  Where else can I get 'em from?

Ive used these and then some. All the brackets are a little different so go with what you think will work best for your build. The past two links I have done Ive picked everything up from AA Fab. But I like the Ballistic truss bracket the and the Polly Perf upper frame mounts if you don't want to fabricate them. Give Adam at AA Fab a call he usually gives a package deal and he will spend the time to work with you and answer your questions.   http://www.aa-fab.com/
Let Adam know that Jason with the Red 4Runner told you to call it may help  save a few :twocents:

I always try Ballistic first.  I have gotten fantastic, fast service from them every time I order.  Good priced too.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5
