While installing Stipes on my front end ('31 Pickup) I used the "Dog-Bone" links - however left side I could not close a gap between the two halfs - about 1/8" perhaps. Right side wasn't any problem, things snugged right up.
What's my solution? Should I have used the Tubular Links instead? Or will I have to give up the idea of Stipes all together? Probably a frame alliment issue to boot

I couldn't post a picture -- Grandson has my iPad
