Default home made long arms

sup bombers!! I gotta 04 ram 2500 with a 8in lift with short arms, and my rig needs some long arms, the ride is rough, and I think that longer radius arms could help with the ride quality and death wobble problems that come with ram trucks. Any have any pics, specs, or info on this?

it wont help any wobble but it will help ride quality and drasticall improve the articulation or the frun suspension. you have to be dead nuts when you make arms. it will totally mess up your front geometry if your off, so i would recommend disigning some kind of adjustment so you can go in and out on each side and get a perfect alignment. you will fight alignment issues if these arnt make correctly.

Ive found some to copy, probably shouldnt mention the name yet, HA. as far as alignment issues, the new brackets will be further back than OEM so, MY thought is i can build and install the DIY longarms one at a time, so i dont risk alignment problems. Ill keep yous guys updated.....
