Hi,
you can fabricate anything with time and effort. Make sure the rear is plumb. We use a plumbline attach a weighted string from control arms/allow to hang freely. Take measurements from three points on each side (same area)
make notes and mark with permanent marker. Dummy/dry fit new rear to the aforementioned measurements.we use foam board to make our templates to exact measurements.measure two/three times and double check. Easier to repair foam than steel. Take your time and triangulate everything you do.
This will assure center and proper alignment of parts. Be patient as this will take time/no frustration or mistakes if you follow proper build procedures.
Check off items as you complete your work.........have a blessed day..... ALWAYS USE PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS...jim

That all looks good. I would just order some DOM tubing and threaded inserts then make my own tubes so you can ensure length

well the dom tubing you have listed is aluminum so i would advise against that and use steel dom tubing. one being steel is obliviously much stronger and number 2 aluminum must be tig welded. besides that looks good
