i think everyone will have a different answer to this question, but suicide doors link bars ar made from 3/16". my link bars on my dodge are made of 1/8" DOM, for a none weight bearing (meaning airbag not mounted to it) 1/8" DOM is ok. 1/4 should be fine, probably overkill but will work. Most truck frames (1/2 ton) arent even 3/16" wall...for what its worth
