Thanks, I'll check into it.

seth talked to you before about ones for a d50/MMM, I got a set of uppers that are from BYC, I also got a stock set I can send you. I would be interested in gettin some uppers made the BYC uppers would make a good jig. I wanted to get ones just like it but adjustable. LMK call me at 480-495-3657 ask for mike

I might possibly be needing some of those in the near future too!

How bout some gen2 dakota arms? PM me, mabey we can work something out.

as far as a ranger is concerned the main issue is camber especiall with bigger rims. the problem is the extra tall spindle. there are a few options to over come this.;. now a lowering spindle would be ideal because it would allow for less change in camber because the suspension dosent have to travel as much to get to the lowest point. thats the whole idea of a drop spindle but unfortunely they dont exist for rangers. there is a guy on here that has cut down hos spindle and had a new hole drilled and machined to make the stock spindle smaller which is a great idea because rangers control arms are on two differnt arcs causing so much camber and bal joint binding. they dont travel the same path when moving causing most problems. by cutting down the spindle the lower control arm would come down and make a lot more adjustability. i really dont understand why a spindle company hasnt came out with one yet. i dont know if i would want to weld cast iron but have seen it done. another option in to raise the upper control arms to get them on the same radius. kind of the same concept but instead adapting the spindle you adapt around it. when doin this there are a few options because if it isnt done right there will be alignment issues and bump steer. do some research on what cause it and it will all make sense. if you flip the lower ball joint and put the spindle on the top of the control arm and the raise the upper that equal distance or even a little more it will give you the same effect as a drop spindle.

the ideal way to fix this is some custom control arms that could use an aftermarket spindle that had the itie rod in the exact spot as factory and was on the same radius as the factory lower arm.

there is a few like race car chassis design websites that explain all the issues when building custom suspension..some good information

the arm is cast steel not cast iron.

the spindle is cast iron. the lower arm is stamped steel and the uppers are solid steel forged...it is rare to ever see cast steel...
