If you are fabbing a custom ride, then that will be determined by your setup.. such as the length from the spindle to the pitman arm, minus jam nut and heim distance. I just ran some 3/8th ID tubing from one side to the other to get by until I can set up the steering.

If your not sure just order them longer to be safer then cut to length after you bsr is born and drill and tap for heims.

Remember to cut the side with the right hand thread,so that it will be easier to drill and tap,and you will still be able to adjust.
