Remeber they are the first set of these ever, they might need some tweaks. Don't forget to mock them up first. Make sure everything is going to fit correctly with the track bar before you powdercoat them. I'd hate to see you have to do some modifications after there are all shiny and black.

I asked that very question while he was making them.
He had some ECE stuff there and checked their fit so
I should be good to go. He said the CPP t-bar will not
work with these arms. (Bad news for all the CPP fans)

Those look awesome Craig! :2thumbs I had thought of something similar to that crossmember but since I havent built any suspension peices like that, I didnt know if it would be strong enough where the arm brackets attached to the tubes with nothing inbetween one single upper and lower tube. Glad to know it will work, it sure does look nice.

I found it, but I didn't buy it. (Should have it was a steal)

Ron bought it and I'm going with him to get it / haul back.
