I am using stock rad arms on my rig right now but my tires are hitting them. I'm considering notching the tops and bottoms of the "I" section about 10" away from the C bushing, heating it up, and bending it so my tires can go stop to stop. Then do a wristed arm conversion on the left and reinforce the hell out of them with a couple pieces of 1/2" steel. I know heating weakens the metel, but with the added steel wouldn't that make up for it, and then some? This is only in the consideration stage so any feed back at all would be appreciated. Thanx

I hate bending them, i know the old timers did it back in the day, but just get some spacers or different back spacing rims
