im pretty sure i used 1x2 1/4 wall on the c notch. whatever the top width of the frame is i used so i could still box over it and i doubled the thickness for the side.ill measure it when im home and let u know.I researched more of the 4x4 links to get a idea of what to run and how they work because the set up is way more imporant on them. if i did it again i would fab my own out of 2x2 1/4 wall and mount the bags on the bars mid-way down. that gives a better ride and u get more travel. live and learn ask a lot of questions and go with ur gut. the link set up i bought was on ebay cant remember the length but i wana say 32". hope i didnt confuse u more good luck.
