3" angle iron

Has anyone cut off there upper control arm mount and replaced it with 3" angel iron, like in the feb 07 issue of mintruckin? I think that looks a SHIT TON better than the stocker.. anyway i pretty sure thats another thing i am doin to this truck, i just want to know if anyone did, and if they gusseted the angle iron... thanks bros

ive seen some guy on here make his own mounts, but they werent angle iron. if you do this, take lots of pics...and this wouldnt be a bad time to fix some camber issues either i suppose you really couldnt mess anything up, just shim the arm either way to get it back where its supposed to be

here it is:

I made those mounts for my mazda. They were pretty simple to make, i made a jig to locate the holes and took alot of measurement before i cut the old mounts off.

Here is a picture with the bag installed

Awesome, looks like you have the cando/grant control arms, thats what i want to do too! It looks really clean, me likey thanks

Hey JsnPdy22 the upper control arm mounts look good, what spindles are you running? I've got a set of the Cando arms with S10 ball joints and need to enlarge the taper for the stock spindles to fit.

JsnPdy22, I'm sure its easy enough for us to go and take measurements ourselves, but do you think you could give us the specs and dimensions to build a set of these mounts?

mazdapromp3, im using a 2 inch drop mazda spindle. I bought a tapered reamer bit and tapered the hole myself. The reamer is 2 inch per foot or 10 degree taper. There is a place called XKUT that sells them.

joshbrennan, i tacked two pieces of scrape metal to the frame, one to the left of the mount and one to the right of the old mount, then got my measurements from them. I did this because there really isnt anywhere to get a measurement from the old mount. So it would be hard for me to give you the measurements because of the way i set them up. The mount itself measures 17/8x3 inches. I have a picture of the jig i made to relocate the holes somewhere if you need it.

If could post the picture that would be cool, thanks.
