Trailing arms
I just noticed that the trailing arms on my truck are bent, looks like it may have been dragged sideways by a wrecker at one time, anyway I need new ones. What should I buy? stock or aftermarket? how long are the stock ones supposed to be? I see some nascar ones on ebay, will they fit? anyone have a good set they want to part with? should I buy a crossmember too? I'm going to use Jeep TJ rear springs for rear drop. any help appreciated

Re: Trailing arms
be sure to inspect the crossmember since that is a place that catches alot of water and road junk especially in the nothern states. You might be able to locate some around here, if you need help let someone know, we could go look at them.
I would think they would be high to ship.
