All the tube is 2x2 1/4" wall. And all the plate is 1/4", except the part where the bushing goes through which is 1/2". The arms are 13.5" over stock.

Here is what they look like on my truck

I can't wait to have them on my truck and putting them to good use!:beer:

Thanks again.
 
Looks good :icon_thumby:

I see you had to battle some pretty good rust on those arms.

Yeah....that's Illinois winters for ya. Winter is a "salt fest" here.

Sad thing is, those are in good shape compared to others I've seen.
 
What kind of caster are you building into them (if any)?

I dont remember the exact degrees, but they are within stock spec with 5"-6" coils, You can see the gussets on the back side are different sizes. I built these ones useing my old ones a a template, so I am sure of the exact angle. The first mounts I made were too tight to the frame and messed with the caster, so I redesigned them to lower the arms a little and now they are perfect.

I built the original brackets to work with 4" coils, but I ended up running 6". Here are my orginal brackets, notice how the bottom is square verses the new brackets that are angled down a squeak.
