Can you use 6061-t6 or do you need 7075 aluminum for link bars
Jhouser said:Thanks are the links that you run solid 2" OD
Matt O. said:7075 is what is desired for links, but you can use 6061 with decent results. I think Brad Kellog ran them and they seemed to be ok. If you can get and afford 7075, I would go that way. In the end anything can bend, I have bent a 7075 in a year of use

Jhouser said:Jrhall are your links 6061 or 7075 Alum

Jhouser said:Mine should be no longer than 36" and the rig should only weight 4000lbs. I think i should be ok??
