Can anyone here make these for me?

I need some soild tube stock with a Lt tap on one end and a RT tap on the other. What I want to do is screw one end on the the link arm and a heim joint into the other end to make the arms longer so that they can be mounted on the side or bottom of the frame with a heim.

Custom radius arms with like 1 1/4" joint on each end..?

Well I want to keep the arms stock if I can so if they do snap there easy to find. I want them stock at the axle and where there a though bolt set up now I would like to screw on and adapter with a heim on the other end.
Then mount that on the frame.

Welding to those stock cast arms will take some time and skill to be done right.

No welding... they thread on

Yes. Thats right Conyer did his by welding them but if they ever brake he would have to fab up a whole new arm I am thinking this way there stock arms and easy to replace. I did find a pic of Conyers setup It flexes way better then most might think it would.

I see, little tiny adjuster links .

Each little link would have a RH taped hole for the existing end of the stock radius arm and on the other end would have a LH taped hole for a heim.

When you buy your joints get them with weld in bungs and the rest should be easy.

Assuming the thread on the radius arm is easily duplicated.

I have some solid 2" stock

I am looking into what the thread is now.

Bad thing is your now using the that threaded part of the arm to hold the rigs weight , Ford intended those threads to retain the arm in the bushing socket not hold up 3,000 lbs.
