you'll still need the bag bracket angled blitch. but yes i will be making arms. i'll be making several styles, arms to use your stock balljoints, arms to use yota balljoints, and arms for the drop spindle. dom tube, tig welded, yada yada.... ive just got alot of machine work to do for the lower arm mounts and the upper arm crosshafts..... i will be doing all machine work, welding, etc. i am trying to also make an adapter to use the toyota tie rod with the mazda inner tie rod, for a complete kit to install yota spindles safely.
make them out of thin wall dom and I'll give you some sweet love. This .25 wall crap is for the birds, nobody ever heard of unsprung weight.

lol seriously, .125 is plenty with a good build design for normal driving applications.
hopping, then you may want to step to .25

the weight difference in stock arms versus arms made with 1x3/16" dom isnt very different, also its easier to weld the thicker bushing outer sleeves and balljoint plates to the 1x3/16" dom.

well, if I can just re-bag it for my 18s without needing arms, then I won't be getting any..

you can lay 215/35/18 with flipped balljoints on stock arms, just have to trim the lower arm to clear the frame.

well i know that, it's my bag bottoming out, cuz I was originally running 14s and didn't think about bigger wheels, so my brackets run straight out from the frame instead of angled up, I gotta cut em off and re-do them.. just too damn hott

I just got a set of uppers and lowers, but For blitchs' informantion... I'm laying out with stock arms and cut rockers on 19's! 215/35/19
So if custom arms arent availible you can set it up to lay... you just gotta get spindles... and that's easy!!!
