Has anyone on the forum fabricated their own rear trailing arms? Been tossing the idea around

Re: custom rear trailing arms
I have been considering it only because I have a friend with a heavy fabrication shop and the right equipment to drill tap and thread the forward end to use Heim joints and the heavy press to achieve the proper aft bend and correct welds to hold it all together and make them track correctly .I will have to call him today and check on the correct materials and how many cases of beer it will take !

Re: custom rear trailing arms
Other than just for the cool factor that you did them your self, there are several vendor on here who make them just for our trucks. Even with the blocks attached.
