you can run radius arms with those. you just need to run rubber bushings on the axle and where the upper control arm meets the lower.

I broke both upper control arms completely in half by hitting a large hole in the woods going lik 35mph.
The bolts were fine. I re-used them to bolt on uppers I got from junk yard.

Currie makes a 1/2" version too.
Why not make your own. Take a 2" od bushing assy (that you can get anywhere), have it turned down to the od of the OEM bushing, press it in, and put a few little welds to secure it. You'll get a 9/16" bolt too.

When I redid my Dana 30, I "drilled" outa set of factory bushings to 1/2" the sleeve is ~1/2" with little nubs pressed inward that gives you the ~10mm ID. For drilling I used a TiAlN coated 1/2" end mill in a Bridgeport. Those little nubs are F-in' hard!!!!
