Normally, I look at Lunsford Racing for turnbuckles if a kit/platform doesn't come with the linkage I want. Ruler/calipers and a set of rod ends are your best bet for a custom length set if you can't find a pre-packaged set specifically for your truck. I've read people using Traxxas 3741A, and have seen some older Ruckus' using Team Associated turnbuckles...from which platform? I can't confirm the fit though with the Traxxas parts either.

For a monster truck, and the way it was designed (upper front arms non adjustable), I'd stick with the stock arms/linkage; not worry too much about the huge tires and camber adjustment. Upgrading the steering linkage because it flexes too much, I can see doing that. Depending on how hard you run, I would not go with aluminum.

Possibly a firsthand user will show up and give you a direct answer what works.
