The problem with making your own set of A-Arms is if you don't make them exactly like the stock setup you change the spindle arc which in turn changes your bumpsteer. To do it properly you would need a computer program to calculate the new spindle arc to see how it changed the bumpsteer. I am not saying it can't be done but you really need to know what you get your self into prior to spending a bunch of money and time. Good luck
