good job. but why the bend in the arms? will they not contact the floor on up travel?
i only ask this cause i will be extending the radius arms for my build to reach my long arm cross member, but never considered a bend.
how much of the original ford radius arm did you leave and what did you use to weld them together?
Well, I didnt build the arms and yes they hit the frame...
Bending radius arms is a way to set the pinion angle, I'm sure they worked fine for the previous owner. I dropped the crossmember an 1" to set my driveline where I need it and to clear the arms.
so are you happy with the flex? any turning rubbing issues?
I'm very satisfied with the amount of articulation the front has. The Brake lines are part of my limiting factor right now. Also, the Radius Arms are acting as a bump stop so my tires don't even come close to my fenders.
I need to adjust my steering stops in a little bit, on a full lock the tie rod will hit the track bar but other than that no turning issues.
