Chilebean cracked me up! "I pity the Fool!"(ba barackus)....."c'mon balboa!! You should'a Neva came back!" (<-clubber lang!!!) Wow...funny!
Dave & Jack....Shaggy is spot on. The A-Arms will not move. They are for attaching the front wheels and for turning pivots only. Yes...at the time you wrote this, i was in la-la land. and why are you Up at 4:30 am?
Shaggy...you also cracked me up. "dis-assemble, dead. dead, dis-assemble. Dis-assemble?? DEAD??!!" HaHa
I'll be sure to video tape those jumps! Ha Ha!
...does it come in black?

| OK here's a crazy "A" observation.....hahaha..Those upper and lower control arms are made with the idea that they are going to move and absorb the shock of landing....If you weld them ridgid I feel they will be a weak point in the suspension.....Is there a way you can fabricate the axle to accept the ball joint directly and avoid using the a-arms. Based on my calculations you have a 37% chance of landing without collapsing the front end using those welded on control arms......Jack can I get a back up on this?.....hehehe When you go to jump this I will personally come and film you for U-tube or "Shocking Videos".....BWD

| Thanks Guys! here are the bottom arms cut and bolted on. the cuts will be straightened later. looks primitive but I think will work. (note to self...start with baby jumps...leave the big jumps to big brother! ) 
a close up of the front lower arm. I used more square tubing for mounting the arms.

| I'm halting all work on the front. Dave made a good point about the a-arms. the bottom arms have some bracing but the top arms are 3/4" tubing with a pretty thin wall. I just want to keep working but looking at the mounting options made me think. The rest of the main arms look pretty strong so the cut A-Arms definitlely look like the "weakest link". I'm going to ditch the a-arms and buy new ball joints and fabricate the connection. just have to wait a couple weeks for that. For now I'll think about how to attach the shocks.
