Hello i was wondering if anyone knows what size tubeing the fixed length rough country control arms are? ie-the wall thickness. as like everone else who has them my bushings are shot , well at least on the chassis side, i went to trail-gear and bought 2 of there creeper joints and weld in bungs. im going to cut off the end of the control arm-chassis side,and weld in threaded bung and now i will have adjustable lower control arms for cheap, i was just wondering the tube wall thickness, i have not been able to find that info anywhere.

i dont know if they are the same size tubing, but i had a rustys arm laying aroung and cut the bushings off for a tranny crossmember i built for a yj. i just yesterday tried to put one of my ballistic bungs in and the tubing was 1/2 inch too big and the bung just flopped around in there.
rc's tubing my be smaller. just thought i would share since i just tried this same thing.

Yeah i got the parts but am not going to start on it for a few weeks, the arms are still on, i measured the OD of the tube and it is 2 inch, so im hoping the ID should be 1.5 inch...We'll see...
