Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set

you also have to remember it is not legal to weld the steering like in the Nat84's first pic, no engeeriner will pass it if it has been welded like that. The ORI cased one will pass all day long

thanks for that tip macarther 4x4, i found a double steering arm from superior enginering for about $170.00 it looks cast but they say it has been welded and guarenteed not no break,(life time waranty) im hoping this one will do,is it better from an enginering point of view to reuse the original perges top and bottom with the rectangular u bolts or do away with that and only weld in a new top one and use the circular u bolts that u can purchace from a 4 x 4 shop, ive seen it done both ways and the original equipment looks heaps cleaner???
