Look at that boot. Looks like it is about to pull apart.
Well... to each, his own.. I guess.
Will look bad A when finished... but better go ahead and buy all 4 axles.

That's a lot of work and changing a lot. I will be very interested to see how it rides and how well it holds up. If i was going to do something like this i would just arch the lower A-Arm that's all.

If I were doing new A-arms, I would arch them for 2" lift and extend the track width by 2" per side and move the front wheels 2" forward.

I'm running 28" tires and they rub with my high lifter set on the 3" setting. In also running 3.5/3.5 wheels with 1" spacers. That widened track width increases the scrub radius which causes more effort to turn the steering wheel and caused he front tires to move back into the fender when turning sharp.

A guy can dream can't he?

They are forward arched 2" and lifted 3". I was thinking last night i would also extend them and use longer travel shocks but then that's even more work. Would have to change axles and buy new shocks and springs. He is also making just lower A-Arm arched which that is something i might would buy.

The guys that weld on oil rigs are GREAT welders, sometimes better than the robots, but being as you could cause serious injury if a weld failed, IE 40mph and the left front collapsed, I would be wary of buying something like that from an individual.

  1. Do not currently own
A robot can't see porosity and make adjustments. I would take a human welder any day.

For certain methods of welding a human just can't possibly do them. But yes a quality welder out does a robot.

Looks good I think. Am surprised the axles don't look in a bind either. He welded the shock tabs higher up on A-arm to give it a stock style lift no brackets. I like it. Not going to buy it though. I might buy the front lower A-arm just arched and the rears lower A-arm arched.
