Link bars?

No wrench flats? Why you gotta be so cheap

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

Wrench flats? I thought you were just suppose to grab & squeeze them

So I'm trying to wrap my head around this set up. The 7075, is the material that has a memory to it, correct?
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.
