No doubt that they will eventually bend but I bet these take some abuse and last a while.

One is being worked on when the picture was taken.

Did you have the chromo links heat treated? If yes, what is the hardness before?

 

[sarg]

nice about time you got rid of the tractor hiems. Im going to replace my lowers and go cromo to:D

I have yours picked out already. Illinois avenue and 25 cents off of a free cup of coffee.:flipoff:

Yes I did. I don't think they test the material before but it should have been normalized which would be prety soft.

All 4 of mine are bent :haha:

your 1 1/4 forged jonnys, Or your links? As ive said, Ive gone thru 6 of my jonnys, all lowers hooked to treated 1/2 wall links. I wonder if 3/8ths wall is a viable alternative really..Time will tell. I wonder what the weight diff is.

 

[crash2]

All my lower links :haha:

Something I am going to revamp this winter hopefully

So? That's why their rebuildable...I don't expect anything to live under there undamaged.

Exactly. Much better to have something that you can see get damaged instead of making everything so big that your ripping brackets off the housing.

Mine bent after the thread and before the body. Mauler really got me thinking about this, My links are way stronger than my jonny's. However alum will bow a bit on impact, Taking stress off the jonnys/heims. At least the jonnys are cheap.

Also, Did you drill em out (thru bolt) or did they come that size?

So will steel. 4130 is spring steel, diameter, thickness, heat treating all play a roll in how much it will bend and how much force it takes to bend it. I did some back yard math and some internet reading and the best I can tell my 4130 links will take about twice as much force before it will permanently bend as compared to 7075 aluminum.

Also, Did you drill em out (thru bolt) or did they come that size?

I bought them that way. I tried to drill out a smaller one but it's too hard to drill with common HSS drill bits.

Also how much thread is showing on yours?

Less than 1/4 inch.

My front lowers with threaded JJ's aren't bent yet, though I had the links made long enough to where the entire threaded shank is inside the link.
