I also replaced the four-bar links front and rear with 4130 chromoly pieces. Not much external change on the front, but the new pieces are .188 wall thickness as opposed to .156 for the old stuff. The orginals were made from mild steel. The front bars are over 40" long with the adjusters and had a lot of flex. The new parts are lot stiffer without changing the look.
The rear bars went from 7/8" OD to 1 1/4" OD. I also went from 5/8" ends to 3/4". I don't think flex will be an issue anymore!
In the pic, I left the old bar on top for comparison.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
