Get Marlins hysteer arms, but instead of attaching the drag link to the arm, weld a mount onto the tie rod near the end and attach the drag to that. You can just cut off the extra hole on the arm.
Or use the tie rod end they use for the cruiser that has that mount built into it. (just remembered that one) They can build you a drag link that will be a little shorter, and you'll be set.

the way that i understood it was that the arms are at differant angles to what i need and it would cause clearance problems,maybe i didnt understand what i was being told? :confused:

Mate where are you from??
You can buy right hand drive stuff from Australia.
Or go here they apperently do a left and right hand version for an extra 50 bucks

Order them online. They ship world wide.

If you can't find a left side double hole arm, connecting the drag link to the tie rod will work fine. The angle isn't different, because you put the arms on the side they were designed for, not switching them.

just got email from sky,it looks like they do a kit for a right hand drive truck,thanks for all the help.
