just an idea for you, here are my long arm mounts that i just made. I'm doing a 3 link. To do it right (correct separation at frame end) the upper arm needs to go up into the floor area. the radius arm setup like rusty's sells is fine for mild articulation but will put everything in a hard bind when twisted up good.
here is the pic, i still have to make my crossmember and drill 3 holes all the way through the frame and plates to finish tieing it in but you get the idea.

Sorry for an epic bump, but I didn't think a new thread was necessary. What's the verdict on making my own arms? I'd use square tubing, although not sure where I'd get it from), I like the pricing, but I also like the DIY aspect of it and how it's arms I built for my Jeep.
