Well the Turnbuckles fit fine lengthwise in the stock location. I had originally planned/Measured the pieces to fit in that location. But found they came into contact with the Rear bulkhead where the braces are screwed into, when the suspension was fully compressed.

I could have used a spacer to clear it. But I had these scraps of AL laying around, and like making stuff like this...

So I just threaded the link further down the turnbuckles... These Ends are HUGE.

I knew about the Lunsford kit. But these Ends are way bigger still... Plus this only cost me $26 bucks shipped with extra rod ends.

Oh AND BASH REPORT: Everything works very well! Ran for 2 packs and the only thing that happened is the Nut holding the ball End Came Loose. So I lock-tite and added a Second nut. Now this thing is solid... Thanks for looking/Comments
