How much lift would these compensate for, roughly? Plans on making anymore?
Rick:
How much longer are these than the stock units? Did you make them longer to compensate for pinion angle instead of using a method like adjustable uppers?
Nice job with these. Wish I was on the market for a set.
Bump.

The idea was to combine multiple solutions into a single one.
1. a HD lower lower arm that can take a beating off road
2. correct the pinion angle for lifts greater than 2.5"
3. offset the static position of the rear axle from lifting the truck initially.
I designed these on my truck which has the FOR GENII springs which are the same height as the Slee 4" springs were. On my truck prior to these arms there was a 2-3* difference in drive angles and these arms corrected that.
On lifts higher than 4" I'm not sure what the outcome would be but it would definitely be an improvement over stock length arms.
I ran a batch of them and this is what is left over. I'm not committed to making any more unless people want them.

Got it
So how much longer are they? 1/4" 3/8"? I'm extremely interested considering my lca s look like bananas!

they are extended long enough to correct the pinion angle for a 4" lift. I took the truck out for a wheeling event and with 35"tires there was no issues with rubbing except for the usual frame scuff at 12:00 o'clock.
And for those curious a set of factory new bushings adds 175.00 to the cost.

BUMP for a single solution to multiple problems

sale pending with 1 person in line.
These still available
For reference, 3/8" corrects the pinion angle on a 4" lift. I lengthened my LCA's by this amount (originally Slee HD arms), this a great solution as it corrects the wheelbase also, which adjustable uppers do not.

sorry guys but I've been dealing with some health issues.
The two sets that were listed are sold. But I've had requests to make more. I at least two people are willing to pre-pay I send in the order for another set. Turna around time has been about 2 weeks for me to see them at my door and then I need to package and ship.
Thanks

I am in! Just need someone else ready to pony up and we can get a set from LT.
how much for a new set?

new set is 250.00 plus 30.00 S&H for just the arms.
A new set with new OEM bushings pressed in is 430.00 plus 30.00 S&H
Bump!
Someone else has to be interested in a set of extended LCA's for their lifted 80.
