custom rear links?

i was looking at the spidertrax website and found this, http://www.spidertrax.com/hardware.htm
it looks like you could make custom rear links with some of those items. if i remember right all pro make custom rear links for an arm and a leg but with the spidertrax stuff you could make it for only a finger compaired to all pros price. i think these would work great for the upper rear links on a 2nd gen. runner but wouldnt you want to use jhonny joint on the lowers right? what do ya think?
Thanks

ok now that i have had time to look at this more. if i was going to do this i would get 2 of their links here, http://www.spidertrax.com/hardware_lnk.htm. what size would i need for upper links? and what size for lower links? then i would get the XAM series rod ends shown here, http://www.spidertrax.com/hardware_aur.htm with the correct thread ofcourse. what size of misalignment washers would i need to make these links bolt into the stock location?
Thanks

was looking to do the same thing using ome 2.5" med 80 coils or the 5.5 allpro and doing these custom links also. i am sas in the front about 5.5" and downey hd with spacers in the rear about 4"

allpros upper links are adjustable from stock to 1" longer and use a special joint to prevent binding and cracking


the lower links are 1" longer and use johnny joints but custom sizes are availble at the same price



let me know if you come up with anything else

well now i need to rethink my rear.........i finished my SAS and am sittin 12" above stock in the front -- suppose to be about 5.5" so i will probally go with the allpro rear leaf conversion or some custom 3 or 4 link with coilovers

after these springs settle and i get my bumper on and buy a winch i will probally be 8-9" above stock!!
