Front tubular upper & lower arms
So I will be fabricating some IFS a-arms for the 2nd gen 4 runner. I have seen the ridiculous prices out there and am certain I ca make a set for less $. I want to get feedback from everyone here as to what you would want on them (stock locations for everything, skid plate on bottom arm, built in ball joint spacer, use stock bushings, longer) and so on. I have access to some very cool tools so these will be able to be made in low quantity production runs. All feedback would be greatly appreciated and what you would consider to be a good cost?
Addition: Mounting preference? Heim Joint or Uniball? Would you want them to be able to be rebuilt?

I will be making them out of 4130 chromoly steel tubing (CDS or DOM) and be able to slightly customize for what the specific customer is looking for while keeping stock mounting locations.
Examples of custom requests:
Extended length
Built in joint spacer
Auxiliary shock mount location
What joint the customer wants(Heim or Uniball)
Stock or polyurethane bushings
Each person could tell me what they need and I can alter my base platform to accommodate what they need or make them just what they need if they are not wanting an entire kit. My main goal is making an affordable option with the same strength and quality as the other guys. I am just seeing if there is an interest for something like this.
