I thought the arms were forged.

You are right, they are forged, still quite stiff/brittle compared to DOM.

Beef!

Look pretty beefy now. Like radius arm skid plates!

Am I imagining it, or remember it wrong? But doesn't the bend in the arm go horizontal rather than vertical? Isn't it for some additional tire clearance?
Or is it just the angle of the pics and I'm not seeing right?

Thanks

Out of curiosity has anyone cracked/broke an arm that we welded in my garage? Mine are holding up good, I bent a Dana 44 and my Lars Bars were unharmed! I have however had some welds fail before which sucks.
