I think I could make that happen. What time do you get off work?

Usually leave at 230. If not no worries I can come by your house this weekend if John gets me those parts.

I haven't finished them yet, it's been a busy spring. But I do plan on getting them finished soon.

I was building my Lars bars about this time last year, but then my back was jacked and they had to wait until this year. I have the DOM dry fit into the C-clamps so far.

Are all of your bars installed? How did they turn out?

What was the longest extension you added?

Did any of you set the caster by varying the angle of the clamp to the DOM rather than bending it?

Anybody use them on full width axles? I am using F-150 D-44 and Ford 9 inch.

Full widths on mine. I didn't participate in the build, but I did have my own version from about 10 years ago I adapted to the full widths. No relief bend, no caster built in. About 45" long, results in 4.5┬░ of caster with 7┬░ bushings. I bumped up to 37x12.50s with 9" wide rims, still clears the radius arms. Tires in the pictures are 35" KM2s

Mine are complete but not installed yet. The jig Justin has adds about 1* of caster to them. Allows us to use 4* bushings with a 3.5" lift.
