Re: Is my DOM too thick?

Yes that is exactly what I was thinking about! Thanks, has the flex of a heim and the softness of a bushing. I cut the DOM at 60" for just this reason so if by chance I wanted to change, I could easily cut off the joint and add a different style without wasting $100 in DOM. Just what I was looking for.
The reason I am making my own rather than just buying some is that I am putting this whole system on a Ford 9" (actually Lincoln w/ disc) and every detail has to be somewhat modified so I figured I should just make the whole thing rather than cut up some premade ones. I am going to be installing coil overs behind the axle and I am going to have a 6" drop, so there is no need to have a bend in the trailing arm for a spring perch.
It is all shaping up nicely and I totally appreciate all the help.
