Is your centerlink going to hit the lower arm at full bump when turning?

Are the urethane bushings for mock up? For final bushings use a bronze or delrin bushings. The urethane with steel sleeve will get dirt and mud and may start to seize up over time.

Any one know where to find a 1/2" -20 12point bolt with a 3.75" shoulder or less and a length of 4.25" too 5.25". i tried fastenal, mcmaster, hanks, ace, and all the local offroad stores around town.

You could try Johnson Tractor or Rainbow bolt supply in Riverside.

Can you not buy a longer bolt & "shank" it? Fastenal has info in their catalog for how long the threads are based on the overall length. It varies by bolt but is typically something like 2x the dia. of the bolt + 1/2". I use this info to find a bolt with the shank/shoulder length I need & then just cut the threads to work - or to make the overall bolt length right.

Here's a couple leaf mount bolts I cut down before cleaning up the ends.

there hard to find over 4 inches

Socket heads are more common and same strength as 12 point bolts.

Topline in Temecula good prices lots of stock, and they can order whatever you want
