Hey guys tweeked my upper control arms wondering if there were any wright ups on how to build my own?

 

homemade control arms are pretty common. bet if you search (yep found many in 10 seconds searching) you will find a ton of info on this.

 

just use some tubing with a good thickness and some joints, weld it up and you got yourself some new control arms.

 

If your gona be making new arms why not just go ahead and build long arms while your at it man. If you want PM me and I can help you out. I've built my own short arms and long arms. Easy to do if you know how to fab.

 

I really want to do long arms but im not ready for that i have 2 days to fix my jeep for work so i cant do that much. On top of that i got pulled over for no mud flaps so i have to do a vi on it and cant pass it at this time have to wait a few months. Just have a job to do next week so i need a quick fix but i will defs pm u in the future about the long arms thx guys. One more question do i need huge bushings on them or can i get away with little ones?

 

If I make my own short arms, what length should they be with a 5.5" lift? Like 1" longer thank stock? And should they have the bernd in them to? Or should I just make them even longer?

 

I have seen someone cannibalize the stock arms for the bushing end, keeps it stock and cheap

 

you will need joints/ bushings that fit the brackets and run the right bolt size. many companies sell builder parts for people looking to make thier own suspension.

 

Any companys youd recommend?

 

im a fan of curries jhonny joint. they come in all sizes that will fit your needs
