You need to buy bushing cradles from JKS or Rock Logic,they have a step machined into them.Go buy your bushings now and you will know why!tayman said:now I just need to buy this stuff and get welding!
anything I need to watch out for?
Midgets with machine guns...
And shipping charges..

If your going to do that much work why not just make new onestayman said:just out of curiosity..... is there any big downside to modifying the stock uca's to be the radius uca?

tayman said:ok, I know this thread is dead now, but What would be a good inner diameter and wall thickness for the lower arms? I found some material for the uppers at my welding class. it's 1"ID X 3/16wall and I believe it's DOM. there is about 3 feet of this, so that'll work for the uppers. I couldn't find anything for the lowers though. so it looks like I'll have to buy some.
Also, is there an optimal length for the arms to be? both upper and lower?
One more question. I'm planning on using the 2.5in Johnny Joints at the frame, and stock bushings at the axle, but what about making the upper arms adjustable? What would e a decent economical joint? I AM on a budget, so keep that in mind.
thanks.

Stock rubber,you dont want a flex joint or any hard joint.tayman said:sorry, didn't state that clearly enough. that's what I'm planning on. I was asking what would be a decent, economical joint for the uppers.
I wasn't saying stock arms,just the OEM bushings!The sleeves(cradles don't come with bushings.Yes,you need a way to adjust pinion/castor!tayman said:are you being serios or sarcastic? I wouldn't think that the upper arms on a radius setup needs to move much, but I do want adjustability...
if you're being serious, what do you think, use the JKS cradles and use a bolt for threads?
by the way, do the JKS cradles come with bushings or are those seperate?
