So load cap. should really be the biggest factor..chromoly w/liner and rating around the 27-28,000 range from the looks of things.

I'm not looking for someone to tell which ones to use, I understand the liabilities of that, I am just looking for a baseline someplace. The chassis place I bought the kit from also suggests a mix of 4 lower mild steel ends to go with 4 top chromoly ends. Their thinking is that the bottom ends are subject to compression and hense less stress than the top ends which are trying to pull themselves apart..

Makes sense on paper, but I don't know about reallity
