i fabricated my own +2+1, and had less than 200 bucks in heim joints, ball joints and steel... i didnt think it was too bad, just time consuming

That's impressive, I haven't heard of anyone making their own a-arms. Got pics?

Thanks, but I'm not looking to fabricate arms. I have a set of +3 Houser arms, but would like to change to +2. I need them to work with long travel shocks. If some one would like to trade up to plus 3 let me know.

i started out with doing some research, theyre technically not 'long travel,' as they use the stock length shocks, but i bought my heim joints and kingpins on ebay. i used 1/2" heim joints for the upper a-arms, and made bushings for the bottom a-arms. for the kingpins i got 3/4" chromoly heim joints with high misalignment kingpins.. while i was waiting for the parts to come in the mail, i began working on the lathe, and by the time my parts came i had all 4 of my weld-in bungs done, and ready. for the actual a-arms themselves i used mild steel (i am on a budget). still working on getting the pics up though hahaha
