![7075 Aluminum Suspension Links: How to Choose Diameter & Thread Size - Wide Open Design
One of the most common questions we get at Wide Open Design is: “What size links do I actually need for my rig?” And honestly, it’s a fair question.
In this technical breakdown, the Wide Open Design team addresses one of the most common questions in 4-link fabrication: How do I measure for my link bars before I even have them? [01:52]. We demonstrate how to properly align your chassis tabs using a simple visual string reference to ensure your heim joints stay in a perfectly straight line [04:07]. Once your tabs are set, we reveal the Golden Measurement for ordering: the distance from the inside of one jam nut to the inside of the other [05:54]. By measuring the overall length of the raw material needed rather than center-to-center, you eliminate the guesswork regardless of which rod ends or tube adapters you choose [06:08]. Master this simple process to ensure your suspension cycles perfectly from the very first trail ride.
