What size struts are you guys using for your banshee in 300 ft in your stock chassis???? front and rear??

 

[Kawiking]

They are pretty easy to make. Any local machinist should be able to make you some struts for a decent price. The cost of aluminum is going through the roof at the moment though.

Those look kinda familiar Bobby...

BBIII makes some NICE struts, I have them all the way around, and my buddy has a rear strut.

I think mine are adjustable from 12" eye to eye to roughly 13.5.... They are very, very nice with a reverse thread heim on one end for easy adjustment!!

Nice struts Bobby, i like how you put a little design on em'. I'll keep ya in mind if i ever need anything like that!!!!

 

[Ziggy]

Very nice Bobby,

here is another option if you are trying to shed every pound you can. many different sizes and lengths..

you can google swage rods.. Most times you can find them anodized also..

Gigot racing can do these anodized for you also.. but may take a while as he is normally really busy.

 

[Kawiking]

cody , might as well put ur order in for at least a rear strut.

no,I make mine with metric heims,and out of 7075 Aluminum,perfectly center bored on my lathe,right hand,left hand thread
with a flat milled into the tube or knurled for quick adjustments.

Don't automatically assume when it comes to what I do.

 

[slcquadcustoms]

Here's a pic of our new struts we just came out with. This is a complete set and are available in all sizes. These use aluminum QA1 heim joints and even come with aluminum jam nuts. Very trick! These struts are some of the lightest on the market and are left hand and right hand threaded for easy adjustability. Lance

do people use chromoly for struts too?
