I need some soild tube stock with a Lt tap on one end and a RT tap on the other. What I want to do is screw one end on the the link arm and a heim joint into the other end to make the arms longer so that they can be mounted on the side or bottom of the frame with a heim.

Well I want to keep the arms stock if I can so if they do snap there easy to find. I want them stock at the axle and where there a though bolt set up now I would like to screw on and adapter with a heim on the other end.
Then mount that on the frame.

I see, little tiny adjuster links .
Each little link would have a RH taped hole for the existing end of the stock radius arm and on the other end would have a LH taped hole for a heim.
When you buy your joints get them with weld in bungs and the rest should be easy.
Assuming the thread on the radius arm is easily duplicated.
I have some solid 2" stock

My thinking is that there is far more stress on the treaded part of the bar at the point of the bushing now then there would be with a much flexyer Heim.
I do see the point you are making as things are made to work in a certain way. I just think most the weight is on the coils and most the pressure on the new links should be from axle rap. I am torn as to if the link should be welded to the bar after it is screwed on and just the Heim would be ajustable and removable if they were welded. But that would make then much stronger I think. I don't want to make them 2' longer maybe 1' (6" for treads on both ends). It's not like I have seen this done before and it will be something I would just have to try and see how they hold up but if it works it would make the front have way more travel and flex and also easy to replace if it brakes.
So it just seems to be worth a try.
