next i found my tubeing



then i measured how long i had to make it



put it in the vice and started to cut

i shoved it over the all thread and put the rod ends on



then re mounted it to the truck and this is wat i came out with

looks cool... but someone told me something about a steering angle when I was setting mine up... looks like you might have the same problem. I fixed mine with shorter upper links in the front
