Default Custom length control arms company?

I've been posting on Cherokee Forum for a couple of years now and I think that this is maybe my second or third question. The list of lift companies is extensive and to contact each one would take some time; so I thought asking the Forum would be efficient. I would like to know if any of you fellow Cherokee Forum posters know if any of the listed long arm lift companies will manufacture custom length control arms? One or two of you may have followed my thread "Atlas 2 installation" https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/at...lation-190099/. To create clearance for the Atlas I eventually decided to move the cross member forward, so a little shorter long arms will be needed. Pic shows the shift forward.

Iron Man 4x4 will. The guys name is Andy and he will work with you on custom length arms. His stuff is beefy and built to last. Check it out here http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/

Clayton will make you what you want. Could also go with ruffstuff and have someone local weld them up if you cannot.

Thanks for the input so far. I've spent some time looking at the four companies that were recommended. Iron Man arms look great but I don't think the cross member would work for me. Clayton looks great and the cross member has the one inch drop that I also need. Also with Clayton the cross member is three piece and the outside pieces can be welded in place. With the extra weight of the Atlas already on the cross member, welding the outside pieces to the frame would make me a little more comfortable. Both Dirtbound and Ruffstuff are possibilities depending on how much fabricating I want to get into.
Thanks for the response posts.

Metmknice, I spoke with Adam at Clayton and he said that they do custom LCAs often. So, once again, thanks for all the input one and all.
