started out by breaking out the chop saw and cutting the radius arms down to the size stubs I found others doing. first set was 10" long, second set was 12" with 2" of the inner steel notched and cut out, leaving an extra tab to slide along the top and bottom of the 2" dom ill be extending them with.
1.5" schedule 40 pvc has very similar inner diameter/outer diameter of 2" .25" wall dom tube, so that's what I'm using for mock up. I slit the tube with the chop saw, then slipped it onto the radius arm stub, and popped the heim on the end
now I've gotta get the axle in place under the truck, with the frame at ride height, measure for the transmission crossmember, and then build the arms off there. crossmember will be 2"x6" .25 wall rectangular tube with 3/8" thick radius arm tabs.
