Does anyone have suggestions on the best route to go for replacement upper and lower control arm mounts to weld onto the acle housing? I need some that will go onto a dana 44 front (76 cherokee style:smokin:) and that are as unbreakable as humanly possible. As much surface to surface contact as possible. The only place I have seen anything is at Rusty's, but I am looking for something beefier. If anything breaks, I want it to be the arm. If I break the control arms I am putting on, I deserve it:homer:
I was out on the trail over the weekend and the control arm mount at the axle end broke off. Ouch! We were luckily able to weld some crazy things together enough to get off the trail, but this has sparked up my ambition to do the axle swap I have been putting off.
Any suggestions welcome and appreciated!

ballistic fabrications has a ton of good mounts to choose from.

call dan and tell him what you're doing, he'll make sure you get the right stuff.

Rubicon express.
Teraflex.
TnT.
JKS
Foothill Offroad
Ballistic Fab
Currie
all make various axle brackets. I used the Rubicon Express, a little pricy but all 3/16 steel and beefy enough.
TnT Customs has a nice kit that includes a truss and coil, shock, track bar, and control arm brackets for $390.

All 1/4" componentes and fully boxed or braced. Upper link mounts are 1/2"
Link to my 60 build, all clayton brackets...
