From another thread:

Start by measuring between your shock towers in the rear. I beleive it's 32 inches. This will be the length of the horizontal top brace. Next are the two lower diagonal braces. Mine were 13 to 15 inches long. I will measure them, but length of these correspond to where you weld the lower frame horn tabs.

Get 6 feet of 9/16" id steel tube stock and 3 right hand thread 3/8" rod ends, also 3 left hand thread 3/8" rod ends, 3 rh 3/8" 24 nuts, 3 lh 3/8 24 nuts and
3 right and 3 left jam nuts for the rod ends. good luck finding the left hand jam nuts! I couldn't. ACE hardware has the best rod ends, Orchard supply also has them. The only tough part is making the brackets for the shocks. Buy some 2" wide 1/8" thick flat bar stock for this. I'll draw up a diagram for welding. Oh yeah.... 2 rear 944 long shock bolts.
