There is a lot of patch work welding, it seems that simply extending them would be easier, and not require the upper ball joint to be moved from the stock location. Too bad Toyota didn't use longer A-arms with the T100, it would have been a common swap by now.


Not sure what you mean by "simply extending them" - isn't that essentially what the modifications are doing? On one arm, you weld on brackets to lengthen (and strengthen) it, the other is a bolt-on extension.

IIRC the deal w/ the T100s is that the frame is wider rail-to-rail, so the distance from the diff housing to the bushings on the A-arms is longer, requiring the longer axles but (unfortunately for us!) geating the need for longer A-Arms.

In truth, long-travel arms are more of a liability for Toyota, since they mean more potential axle swing room, and higher liability for breakage.

With 200+ Billion electrical parts, the world most complicated machine is inside your own skull.

Question Reality.
