One-link joint selection

[kert0307]

I've been doing quite a bit of looking through one-link builds on Pir@te lately, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to try it out on my B2 D60 / 10.25 swap.

Here is my B2 build thread for those who haven't seen it. I kept it in the registry so I didn't have to make two threads.

I have seen builds using "grader balls", ball hitches (no, I won't be rednecking it that much), and larger rod ends. Whatever it is, it needs to be beefy and from my research it needs to have at least 30 degrees of misalignment. Here is the joint I am looking at right now.

It's the largest joint that ballistic makes, and it has 34 degrees of misalignment.

So, the big question is, will this joint be beefy enough for a B2 with 38's on it?

That 3" joint is humungous. I've seen them in person when I picked up a 2 5/8" joint from them..

If you need more misalignment, they have 70 degree rod ends too..

3/4" bore - I think thats enough.
