I have been thinking about this for a while and I need to do it quick. So I have come to the conclusion that a single bar with a shackle on the frame side is the better setup for an offroad truck. (correct me if I am wrong, After searching that is what I am seeing.)
Basically I want to set it up like the ORD bar.

But that is a bit expensive for my taste. So I think I am going to buy their brackets that attach to the axle with bushings, and build my own crossmember and bar. The only thing I need to find is what shackle and bushings to use to attach the crossmember to the bar.
Anyone have any ideas? Or input for that matter because I am really not to sure of the right setup for me. People around here keep telling me to make two bars and attach the front ends straight to the frame with heim joints, now I know my suspension doesnt flex much but Im pretty sure thats going to be bad.
So I have been trying to figure out the cheapest/ best setup for me.
Thanks guys
