I had 1" shorter control arms on it with the 16" wheels, when going with the 22" I used 1.5" longer than factory arms with 1 tonSRW front hubs. I replaced the brake calipers also, while the dually ones will work, they are about .5" wider and would hit the adapters. I had to shave the SRW ones a little also.

I do have the 1" shorter arms for sale if anyone wants them.

im kindah wondering wat the single wheel fronthub will do to steering geometri
normally the centre of the tread on the tire is the point the bearings and the turningpoint of the steering are spaced from
with the hub sitting closer to the face of the rim you move both the bearings and the steeringpoint basicly to the outside of the tread making the wheel turn in under driving and make the steering feel weird untill you put in some more tow out and even that it will have stronger and less stronger pull on the steeringwheel intoo a corner
