I could make those myself in about an hour with $25 at home depot, All you need is four threaded ball joints, four nuts and a lenght of steel rod that you can cut and weld the nuts onto the ends, the brackets I could make at work in about 10 minutes, when I take my car out of storage I think I'll give a try.

We don't have 2 main supports on the side like the GK, but we do have a sturdy frame support right about where theirs is. The only thing you need to do is tie the suspension to some kind of framework up front.
They said they verified the fitment.

As far as I am concerned, even if it does not fit, you get the mounting brackets, the 2 heim ends, and the bolts. You can make the shaft... get a piece of round solid aluminum and drill and tap the ends.

When I used to work on Modified drit track race cars, we would buy the round solid aluminum stock at 12' lengths. We would cut down to the size and use spare heims to make a tie rod on the fly.
