80 rear lower control arms

[itbrokeagain]

Can anyone give me the correct length and tubing size for rear lower control arms for a 91? I need to make some new ones.

The 42s are very hard on them

@jfz80 made some using stock arms and DOM tubing as a sleeve.

I have a design. I have to order metal and I'm heading out of town Friday but I will post pictures when I'm done

One of the vendors posted pictures of rear LCA's they are building in the "what did you do with your 80 this weekend" thread that looked substantial, but I think everyone else just cuts the arms, and slides them into larger tubing then welds them back together.

It was trail tailor post 48007, they make upper and lower arms by the looks of it.

I built a set using 7075 2” solid aluminum and Johnny Joints.

Beefy to say the least.

Cheers

Sorry forgot about this post. I ended up finding a stock set of 91s and welded angle to them. They have held up well so far
