If you have the equipment and place, they are fairly simple to build. Im finishing up mine this weekend. Im building them with 3/4" heim joints, and tubing. I will put some pics up after I finish them.

Thanks,

What kinda of tubing and what heim joints do I use? Also what about the brackets to hold it to the frame and axle?

I just fabricated brackets to weld onto the rear end housing, and then fabricated brackets for the front of the bars to mount onto the frame. Those ones I bolt onto the frame because I am not a big fan of welding to the frame, makes it lose it "temper", and can crack. Bars are 1-1/4" round, by 1/8" wall. Heims are 3/4" chromoly RH thread. Here is where you can get the heims.
