I've got a sneaky suspicion those are just the ATV tire balls used in layers...in the ATV promotions they're single layer and ordered according to size to fit the tires.
They don't show any available on the website for trucks though. Hence my suspicion.

looks like youtube videos of shannons stuff installed.


also looks like lots of places selling similar "things" but very little specs, 24$ per ball it looks like?

i looked at walmart yesterday-  they have volley ball size ones, but i dont think they would take the load or pressure needed.

Cleaned the axles off and smike made a truss for the 60. Band saw is down for the count though so only 1 truss last night.

I see heims on both ends and no anti-roll apparatus, is that bolt dead on centerline?
