Tubular control arm questions

I'm going to be building and jigging up a new set of tube arms for my truck and was wondering what you guys would like to see in them? They will already eliminate the factory strut rods like the ones that I make for the Mazdas, but what about adjustable on non adjustable ends, things like that. Maybe different types of Nissan trucks, frontiers and such if there is a demand? For the HB's i'll be doing all the R&D on my truck which is laid out on 245/35/20's. I'm a machinist by trade and have all my own equipment in my shop so i'll be able to do what I can to keep the costs down. All my arms are assembled and welded in fixtures to minimize warpage.

I have an idea for you I am incorporating into my Toyota arms thats pretty neat. I probably won't be making Nissan arms any time soon, so I will PM you about it I'm working on it today.

I dont know i dont really see a major flaw with the factroy arms other than they sometings depending on the set up wont clear a 6" bag on the lift stroke. and that damn radius bar but mabey have them set up to clear a 22" that all i would need to see in a set im laied out on a 215/45/17 and i still have pleanty of room to go if i moved my upper shock mount.

i did however use the factory lower with a support arm to remove the radius bar.

I figured there would be at least a few people asking for frontier arms on here.... Well, I still want a set.

There is...problem is my money has been going elsewhere lately. I probably wont have money to spend on them for atleast 2 more months.

With the R&D time it takes to get a set in production you should have plenty of time to get the money together. The more people chime in on this the better the chance of someone finally making them.

If the arms look like they will hold up and the price is fair, count me in b/c I am definitely interested.
Laying on a 245/35/20 sounds good, are you using drop spindles?
