you can leave them right where they are at..just cut off the part of the bracket that bolts to the front frame..and brace them up..then you will have to have your lower radiator port moved over to clear the end of the rod..but its alot easier than building new ones i would say

so when i z thsoe will be in the way of the radiator?

I had to have my lower radiator outlet moved over a bit also, the nice guys over at toyota even left a blank spot which was almost like it was made for an outlet relocation. and yeah I left the mounts going forward and just made new brackets, I thought about moving them so they faced rearward but the floor was in the way since my frame is not very tall.

Or you could make some of these...

I made a jig to make mine, so that the pivot points are in line. I could make more.

Hey Mike, I have the Kustomwerks control arms on my truck and love them. There are some pics in my profile of them mounted.

That looks good Seth!!

I could have done something like that also but i wanted the look of the tube arms. Seth, what are you goin to put between that bushing and the factory arm? Or does that mount to the frame with tabs?

Mike, here are the other pictures you wanted.

I haven't mounted them up yet. I'm working on seperating some tie rod ends, which is proving to be difficult. I have to do this because I sectioned the front crossmember, and the factory bolts interfere with the tie rod ends, so I have to install the bolts facing the rear of the truck, instead of the front. I'll put pictures up of them mounted as soon as I get it done.

Tim, I would have loved to have tubular arms. I called Kustom Werks, and they confirmed that their arms will not work with my spindles, since the balljoint faces downward, there would be binding issues. And, I can't afford ot upgrade to new spindles, AND tube arms. So, this is a much cheaper way of eliminating those locating arms.

The rear bushing will mount to the frame with some tabs that will be gussetted.
