Link bars?

No wrench flats? Why you gotta be so cheap :flipoff1:

There's wrench flats on one end of them. Kinda hard to see in the pics though. They're set back from the end of the link a few inches.

Ah, I see now. You've been reupgraded to balla status

Did you weld your bung into the Dom?
It's an interesting ideal for sure.

Bung welded to the dom. Weight & strength was the main reasons. 2.5x0.375 was 8.5lb/ft, 2.75x0.500 was 12 lb/ft, 2.25x0.25 plugged is 8.2lb/ft.

Install a ridge back of 1/2" flat stock or lay a piece of angle on top an weld on?

X2 or go to a 2x3 or 2x4 box. Just make sure the link can't roll if you go rectangle.

The way I understand it, 7075 has very little memory. It can take numerous deflections and return to it's original straight state. I have 2.5" 7075 lowers.. I actually ordered 2.25" lowers but WOD made mine out of 2.5" by mistake so they let me have them at the lesser cost. They are total beef.

I think you've got it backwards but the concept is right. 7075 is a good memory material, as in it can flex and return to it's original geometry. It "remembers" what it was, not what you did to it when coming down on a rock.
