I've been looking all over for some radius arm extensions for my up coming project. I have seen them and I know Bent and Twisted makes them but I can't find a website or any kind of contact info nor can I find any other companies out there that make them. If anyone would happen to have any contact info for any companies that make them I'd really appreciate it. Also if anyone would happen to have any experience with their own homebrew extension setup I would really like to know how it worked and what you did. Thanks
 
http://www.twistedcustoms.biz/. They're website is under construction now. There's a couple guys on naxja.org that've done it. basically all they did was take 1"x.25" DOM and sleeve the stud and weld it around, some guys also plug welded to the stud, then ran a hiem on the chassis end. Not all that hard. I picked up a pair of extended ford arms with the twisted customs ext. already on. They take solid stock and turn one end down on a lathe and run a die on it for the chassis end to run a female hiem. the axle end they drill and tap it for the stud. The arms ended up being 48 1/2" which == way to long for my XJ. If I were to do it again I'd take my stock arms and ext. it with DOM and run a male hiem. my .02

Wrong one. :flipoff2: B&T =/= TC

They moved to KS and don't have a website anymore. Contact btf1 on pbb though.

Otherwise, here's what I did long ago. Whatever you do, get rid of the stock bayonette bushings/stud and go with heims/spherical joints/leaf spring bushings of some sort.
I would also suggest not putting this much work into a set of ford radius arms...
