just checking if anyone wants to get rid of some rear arms for a D1 with a 3" lift, mounting 33's and don't want to trim doors plus my pinion could point down just a bit more. will probably go RTE today or tomorrow if nothing pops up.

thanks guys

Probably, I love to spend time wrenching on it. At the same time the last year has taught me that family time is more important. Even if it's just watching my daughter play while sitting on the couch with my wife.

Well here they are, came as promised. But i'm a estimator/project manager for a steel fabrication shop so i do this stuff for a living. I decided to buy arms simply because i didn't want to buy all the parts and measure and make them myself and at Nates price i just decided to buy them. They are heavy duty, not 1/2" wall like he said though, i'm sure they probably fit but the quality i guess is well....homemade . My CWI said the welds would probably fail an inspection so i'm having them ground out and redoing a full penetration weld on them by one of my certified welders for safety sakes. And i don't care for the fully threaded peice that goes into the bushing, one they are crooked as shit and two i just dont see threads being very bushing friendly. I'm not saying they are junk, but if i made them myself they would have been nicer.

Wow those look worse than anyhing I could have imagined. I guess this is one more reason to go with RTE or one of the china made alternatives.

Nate says that he some prettywonderful welding certifications and if he does, it certainly does not have one in fabrication. Did he weld those pieces of allthread to a washer on the end of that pipe? I don't understand how they are that crooked if they were welded into anything more than 1/2" thick that had the same id as the od of the allthread. I would not accept that quality from anyone and take him up on a refund since he guaranties his stuff from quality defects. That welded joint looks weak and completely unnessesary if he has a bender.

Did they put those stickers on upside down?
