RE: anti-wrap via radius arms (was RE: JPOR: Bigger lift options. )

Have the lumps out back too. just not the center section, sold that. can you
get by with only one arm I suppose? I have the frame brackets too, but would
you come up with something else to attach the other end?

Well, you could either fab the elliptical "lumps" yourself
or you could cut
them off of a Ford D44 housing.  Some housings have the
lumps welded on,
others use cast pieces.  I'll be using the cast pieces
because I found them
for free.  I'll have to grind them out to fit around my D44
tube but that's
about it.

The reason I'm using a radius arm is because I need
something that doesn't
stick up too high or too low.  I'm leaning the shocks in
toward the centre
of the tub so they will interfere with the anti wrap bar if
I go with a
traditional triangulated shape.  It's possible to make
something similar to
the Ford setup but I thought, hey, might as well use the
radius arm since
it's free.
