Or if anybody else has some good ideas for DIY LCA's...
I'm all eyes. I'm 'bout to run a 3" lift on the TJ. Need some ideas.

I have some buddies that run sch 80 pipe for the long arms on their TJ. They have been known to bend it.

Don't do it man. Ante up for some mechanical tube.

my question is WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!!! would you run home fabbed lca's on a TJ with only 3 inches of lift? that is no-where near enough lift to require a longarm setup and if you are keeping factory mounts wouldn't it almost be cheaper to buy a set of arms from a company like Tomkin Machine or Rusty's than to go through the hassle of building tubes the right way....if you were going over six inches and longarm it would be another story...

I have seen guys bend DOM links also.

Sch80 pipe is pretty fawking heavy, just for that reason I would stay away.
