as far as tube arms go, BYC is the only one who makes them that i know of. I have some on order (along with a ton of other ppl) and have been waiting on them since Aug 2005.
you can however, make some of your own using the factory arms to make a jig. ive seen jigs made of plate steel with mounting tabs welded on them for placement and a hole cut for balljoint placement.
hope this story helps a lil bit. wish i could give more a more detailed answer. or a yes or no.
miles's pics and method are pretty awesome BTW. def how i would do it if i were keeping a factory frame.
Totaly right on the measurements to detwermine if you need a Z... And I would if at all possible re-work to crossmember to gain clearnace before I would do a Z. Or even do a combination of both a re-wored cross and a Z cuz the less you have to Z the frame means the more room you have above the engine when your done/smaller cowl hood.
