Has anybody used a solid 78-79 Ford Dana 44 front axle with one radius arm and one regular, Heimed control arm for more flex?

I am sure it has been done, but before you go fabbing one up an easy way is to wither wrist an arm or extend them. I have a wristed arm, it works great and it's cheap and easy.

ya a wristed arm is the way to go (cheap) or extended. You won't gain much with heims except the pain of keeping them from squeeqing and wearing out.
