Sorry man. That's f*cking ridiculous. It's sized for a monster truck. Are you running a 500hp big block and a Corp 14-bolt? Even then it would kinda be overkill.

I really didn't think it was that big when I bought it. I know it will probably be way overkill, but the price was cheaper than a 7/8" heim with a weld in bung and misalignment spacers.
But on the other side of it, I might he ditching the anti-wrap bar all together and going with a set of springs designed for SOA, more than likely a set of Chevy truck springs.

You going to tell me that the exact same joint that I am running in my 60 is ridiculous?
It's a cartridge joint. Rebuildable and sized well. Almost all of them are this size. The through bolt is only 9/16" diameter.
Chevy SOA springs are notorious for wrap. new springs may help flex, but they will not control wrap.

My idea with the Chevy springs where to push the axle back a few more inches, and lend some help to wrap, my buddy did the same swap on his cj5, and has no wrap without the anti-wrap bar.
This was something we toyed with today.

Might just be worth the time and frustration and pick up a set of springs, since mine are original to the '40. Could help a little!
I am almost thinking DOM tube might be a little much, and added weight, but I think it would more worth the little extra weight.

Do you need that big of a dia. to run that Johnny joint?
For this component, id say build it strong.
DOM just makes a precise thickness. You can get 2" dom in .065 wall..

Thanks for the link and info. I assumed DOM weighed more due to the thickness of the wall.
I will probably go with a smaller wall thickness.
It's a process not a material.
Here's a nice explanation
