Im Leaning towards ART but ive heard the bushings tend to wear and crack kinda quick so ive been researching some other options but im still not sure what application to go with. Im going with at least a 22inch wheel with 3 inch drop spindles so stock arms are out of the question. Lemme know what you guys think or if you have any other suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
I'm curious where you heard the "bushings tend to wear and crack kinda quick"? ART arms use OE rubber bushings or aftermarket poly bushings. The rubber bushings in my 74 were in service for 28yrs before getting replaced....

Porterbuilt arms would be my first choice, ART second, & SD third.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
