Also custom. Well ok, I re-used the bushings from my lcas and reused the ucas. The rest is from scratch.

how long are your arms? was the cross member hard to make?

If I remember correctly, they are 33.25 from centers of the bushings. The cross member is basically 4x2 .25" rect tubing and I mounted it to frame with 3x6 slabs of .25" steel welded together and bolted with 1/2 in. bolts. 3 in. angle iron would be a quicker route for the frame rail mounts.

All I did was made the crossmember and my mounts, then measured for the length of the arms.

check out my pics of my xj project, 36" lca's, 2'x3'x .025 plate, more pic to come.photos.yahoo.com/petehamann

Saw the second thread when i searched, but not the first one. Nice setup, almost exactly with i was thinking of. Thanks
