like the title says, just got me a bar, and wounder if i can use the bar, similar to this set up in the pic where the kit has this bracket on the stock LCA bolted to the end of the bar.

anyone ever done this..can i just go to HOME DEPOT and find something close to this with out risking my butt??
Thanks


thanks jboy08 for the pic..

 

That picture is not dissimilar to stringing pearls...with dental floss. I got my LCA's for free, most people sell a set that has mounting holes for ~$30, bushings come to under $40 for them both. Brackets will be subjected to sever force, high probability you'd have to readjust/replace them frequently. AND you have to design them yourself.

That said, it looks like 4 U-bolts (square, not rounded), and maybe a thick plate connecting the upper bolts to mount the endlinks. Most hardware stores around here only have rounded u-bolts, not those types (more like wood saddle clamps).

Do it right, not half-assed like above.

 

true about the possible stress the brakets will get...well i know how much the arms go for with the holes, that i know. prob is if i where to mess with my stock arms, ill run into the dreaded seized bolt that we all love. i almost broke my bolts once and just decided to slide the coil-overs in by pulling the shock out, while still attached...
basically I'm not gonna mess with it until i get my new shocks when ever i get the chance to order them.
if it only weren't for the bolts
