Maybe...
But I have done, designed and fabbed all of my own stuff like that in the past and am still trapped in doing so. I am starting to think now after really understanding how long it takes, pronounce: how long your build takes I would resort to buying some of the more complex stuff premade... If buying one pair of brackets saves me a day af fabing, it's worth it.
Plus, when it comes to threaded steering linkage, threaded suspension linkage, rod ends, jam nuts, adapters, etc, we generaly outsource this to machine shops anyways... Looking at these guys prices, probably due to hi production runs their cost is low and their parts are very reasonable. Probably cheaper then ordering custum, "one of" work localy...
