f300 custom control arms
hay all
looking for info on widening the a-arms on a f300 narrow-track
I'm thinking
- cleaning of slug welds and opening the box section.then stagger the cuts ,box then flat.grafting and adding the length .at the same time adding reinforcement walls inside the box and when its all closed more reinforcement walls on the outer rim to the box top . already got wide track drag link,os/ns Drive shafts and flairs. standard o/s n/s uper and lower control arms
having said this I'm more interested in other ways of getting it done

Extensions that slide into open ends of lower control arms. Bolted from both sides gives plenty of strength. Use an alloy steel just to be sure. Don't like welded suspension components that haven't been x rayed and that's a PITA and expensive
Top arms - who cares, they carry virtually no load so bolt on extensions are fine.
For all the shagging around easier to use existing diff with longer driveshafts - and use a better steel whilst your at it.
Same with steering - make longer adjusters.
Once you have made the bits, about 2 days easy work. - Flares take longer to do properly

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Mine are made of M200 Alloy steel - great material, not cheap, but requires carbide cutters to machine easily.
Won't break in a million years.
M10 holes are tapped trough with HT bolts from both sides ( 8 x M10 HT bolts - STRONG..... )
Insert will required some adjustment of side radii to get good fit into lower arm ends.
