something about the fact that this is in a mazda forum would lead me to believe he is wanting to make them for a mazda, and the fact that he has a b2200 in his profile might give it away as well... i dunno, its just a hunch.

A good start is to start modifying your stock arms and angle them until they lay to your liking. Once you have them test fitted make a jig to adapt to tube arms. This way you are certain the truck will lay with your design.

This is how I have done it for myself.

I've also built arms to the correct length, and determined the angle, then finished the jig and done final welding.
