I wish to make an over 22 feet long menace arm, can the kit handle that? obviously after using connectors to connect the pipes.
no I would definitely not make a menace arm with a reach longer than 16' with a single 1 1/4" menace arm. if you use a double kit (aka "over under"), and a heavy cranking stand, you could probably get 22' of reach.
