Hope this is in the right place. I'm looking for adjustable top end links for my traction bars. I got a set for free. Not realizing it when i went to take the ends off, that one side was left hand threaded. Now i have a screwed up jam nut, and can't seem to find one around the parts stores. Any ideas where to get the ends, or even just the nut? I believe the thread size is inch, and also the bolt hole size is an inch too. Thanks!!

ruffstuffspecialtys.com is where i get my things like that. gmachine.com is another. jsut dont go through ballisticfab, you will be lucky to recieve anything. be sure to measure what size as they make 7/8th and 1" depending on what kind of hiem/end you have.

I used 2" DOM with 1/4" wall. Cut 2" peices and bought bushings to use for the end connections. One end is fixed on the bar and the other is adjustable with a 1" nut welded in the end of the pipe with the 2" peice/bushing welded to a billet stud from ballistic that threads right in. Welded tabs on the rear diff and bought a very nice mount from ballistic to weld to the frame. No complaints about Ballistic from me!

lol its just a matter of time till they screw with your order. i like the stuff they make, its just hit or miss if you can ever get it from them. Im two hours from them and it took three months to get the nylon insert for some ballistic joints i bought from them. i tried them on three different orders and ive finally given up on them. Tabs are about the only thing i order from them if i have to as they always have them in stock. Ruffstuff is moving to flagstaff here so ill be ordering from them once they are all moved in, i already placed one order with them and had very good service and shipping
