for those of you that have built your own longarms similiar to T&T, RCX, and claytons, what rubber bushings/sleeve are JJ did you go with? Ive looked at Johnny joints, Rustys flex ends, and balistics forged joints. Which joints do most of you run, what size, and where did you get them?

Also Im planning on using 2" DOM with 0.25" wall for the lowers, but what size should I use on the uppers?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Can't beat the qaulity and longevity of good heim joint. If you are worried about vibrations transfering add a bushing on the frame end...

1.25" heim on the lowers with a poly bushing on the frame. Don't mind the bends, it was a comp rig with a few hard rolls than ended up bending them in under 4 months :D

Midwest Control (basically what Ruff Stuff started with).

The Ruff Stuff heim are not greasable. Wash them down after playing in mud/sand/salt/other crap and you'll be fine.
