thanks

I have all the parts availble for you to do it yourself.I have 2 diff size cross shafts and and bushings and sleeves that slid on the shaft to weld the tubing to for your arms.I also have the screw in style rings for screw in ball joints so you can make them like mustang II arms.Or if you give me the length i can build you a set and send them to you.

just let me no.Its almost just as cheap to buy the arms as it is the parts.

all i need is the shaft, bushings and sleeves that slid on the shaft to weld the tubing to. do you have toyota shafts? are they machined or are they just stock shafts?

is sheer the bolts shaft being tested basically menaing the shaft prevents parts from separating by using it

Yes! A bolt in double shear is, at very lest, twice as strong as in single shear. Factory shock mounts that are run in single shear will have a (slightly) engineered bolt with a 5/8" shank. While a double shear shock bolt may be a small as 7/16"

They are a machined shaft.Im not 100% what the toy arm measure from center to center where it bolts to the frame.I have 5.5 inch centers and 6" centers instock.
The cross shafts are 75.00 each.And the bushings and sleeves that slid on them to weld to are 12.00 each.

If you need just the upper arms built to your desired length i can do them between 250.00 and 275.00 depending on how long you need them.

The parts is what cost so much jiging them up and welding them doesnt take nothing.

Let me no if i can help you.
