Here is a quick photo of My new A arms from Arrow A-arms.com Wink This kit is badA$$ Twisted Evil It is not done yet but a few hours and look how much was done.. It is going to tower above the rear end. That sits on 3x3's at 16'' high not fully compressed.

the bottom is attached to the pan, where it bolts to the body. You can't see it but there is a tube from the front to the rear it mounts to the pan and the front end..It is very strong. the top bolts into the 3'' lift. I was told it does not need to be attached for strength, but it keeps alignment. It is hard to tell but the kit is massive strong. no worries from me... As a note I will or may have it tied in some how to the cage, just for total over all strength of the body and cage. Sorry I Don't have detail photos oh how it is set up...

Now , I have have priced out the parts needed to build this set up, It only makes sense to buy it. To save a few bucks for the work involved in making this kit is not worth it. If you even have the tools to begin with.
