They look good. If you were to not weld either side, and just codder pin them both, you could take that long added section out when off roading and wouldn't have that problem.

This idea is 100% better than the s***y one i got from rough country they send you the ones for a jk and tell you that its an updated part. They would probably work awsome on a jk.But the angles are all wrong and the mounting bracket they give you is so flimsy i broke it driving down a dirt road (speed was irrelevent) so i had to make new mounts out of 1/4 angle iron very disapointed in RC. You did a great job

I might be willing to buy a set, partly cus I can't weld, and don't have the tools to fab them myself.
kinda depends how much you would charge.

Does anyone else see any concern with the hitch pin taking the brunt of the load? Could be a moot point, but the shear on that pin is a lot less than the shear of the bottom stud (the part that goes through the endlink). It could be bad if that pin sheared at an inopportune time.
