    New Toyota lower arms.

    Will be available adjustable or non adjustable. The purpose of the lowers being adjustable is so you can adjust caster via the lower arm the way it was from the factory. This leaves the upper arm only adjusting for camber, so you have an even amount of spacers, and a cleaner look from the engine bay. Uppers will be available soon as well. Prices to be determined after testing is complete. I've built two sets so far, one will be going on my truck for some R&D.

    Some specs are...
    ~ .120 wall DOM
    ~ Screw in ball joints, included
    ~ Double shear mounts for more strength, versus the common single shear mounts, similar to MII (They have failed on MII kits)
    ~Literally bolts to the stock bushing, then you weld two tabs to the frame, which will be supplied, laser cut.
    ~ Frame mount is 11 gauge plate doubled up for thickness, but one half further supports the mount, for a shear load gusset application, to reduce stress on the 'butt weld' area.
    ~Will come plated and drilled for air bags, but can accomadate coilover mounts. Will not work with torsion bars.
    ~100% TIG welded.

    I'll think about it. They wouldn't really be seen, but it might work.

    Well, if you think about it and it works out that you can do it ( without welding them up of course ) hit me/us with a picture, I know they wont be easily seen, but, I remember someone said once, that its the lil things that count and Ill love to see it mocked up. . .

    Thats with billet shafts though. Cheaper if you want to use stock cross shafts.

    Actually I decided to run a special from August 22nd to September 12th for $725 shipped in the US, with stock cross shafts. That should be about the price of a CanDo kit. I am also working on Billet cross shafts with the machine shop near me. If they can't do it, I have another source.
