Extended Radius Arms
#2
Keith and I built several sets of extended arms ... I think Charles has also built a set for his race rig that is very similar. JP had a set of ours on his old bronco and I think he really liked them - I'm sure he'll chime in on the post too.

We cut the stock "I" about 10" behind the "C" and notched a piece of 1.75" .250 wall tubing to slide onto the "I" and welded the crap out of it. We also put a bend in the tube to help with tire clearance (broke our 1.75" die in the process of building the first arm - remember this was .250 wall - but re-built it stronger and didn't break again). Then we welded a johnny-joint on the backside of the arm and welded a pre-fab johnny joint bracket from Ballistic to the frame.

Here is a link to JP's build when he put a set the arms we made on... check pages 21 - 26 for before and after pics.
