That makes no sense. Or do you drag- and/or road-race on tracks with pot-holes?

Well where I live there aren't gaping potholes. I guess I am just lucky and don't have to think about that much.
When all is said and done with fabrication, I will post some better pics. Everything is double shear. FK 5/8" moly rod ends are being used. Could have gone 1/2" but stronger is better. The minimum load rating is 9713lbs and goes up to around 15,500lbs.
These are only intended to be used off road. If they are used on the street, it would be absolutely at your own risk. Basically it would be stated something like this...

I am a consultant and bill rates that will probably make this look like non-profit work to put it bluntly. I don't even own a DSM so I am doing this more or less to hopefully help some enthusiasts out and give the fabricator some business he probably doesn't even need. I am trying to put myself in your shoes as though I still do have a DSM. I also like learning about everything I possibly can, meeting new people, and networking. The last thing I want happening is trying to help a bunch of people out with a need and then turn around and get sued or give myself a bad rep.
