Re: homemade LCAs

If you're talking about rear LCA, then you can just weld a flat piece of steel to the underside of the stock ones and that will stiffen them up plenty. Had a buddy running 12's with those and some reloc. brackets.

Re: homemade LCAs

Other than boxing the factory stamped pieces, as suggested by seawolf06 (which works well), you're better off buying aftermarket pieces than trying to make your own. You can get them for just under $100.

Re: homemade LCAs

I bought all my tubing from Coleman Racing and have an account w/ QA1 for the rod ends. I have a set that I made for my car and also made a custom set for a 3rd gen w/ an IRS.
