s10 control arm question

ok i need to narrow my control arms on the jeep(s10 frame) an inch so i can tuck. my question is were to cut? im assuming right be hind the ball joint on teh lower. on the upper im really wanted to run a tubular upper so itll clear the frame at full lift, so my question is is anyone running any of the arms from speedway motors? i need some that are an inch narrower then factory so some super extra thick SD arms WONT work.

Build new arms that are the right length. I did that for a Ram. I just shortened the stock arms for a jig and made new tube arms myself. Its not all that hard.

Theres a couple guys on s10 forum that run those, but if they are going on something thats gonna be driven regularly I wouldnt run em. I think they have metal bushings.

yea im gona drive the poooo out of it.

seth ive ben thinkinabout it just dont know were to start on building arms..

take the stock arms and make a jig. and on the legth just shorten it up before u finish weld the tabs on the jig ?

This help James?
