Default lower links

so, my lower links i made with all thread rod and aluminum tubing are getting really beat up and want something stronger. the links i need are 5" long ( without rod ends). so does anybody know of any links that long + or - a few mm? they must be strong of course.

thanks

never mind, i went to the hard ware store and got some stainless steel 1/4" tubing. it is so strong, i bet if my rig fell from 5 feet and landed on the link it wouldn't bend. and it is only 4$ a foot.

If that don't work, just go with Titanium

But any certain reason why the all thread and tubing wasn't strong enough? did you have them bent for high clearance?

no, i didn't bend the links, the aluminum tubing was really thin (not the stuff from McMaster).
