a arm braces?

Has anyone made A arm braces while installing BJ spacers? I'm putting on 1.5" lift up front on my 96 t100 2wd and was wondering how hard it would be and what you made them out of. Or if they're even neccessary? Riding style is gravel roads/ hunting trails/ loggin roads. No mud bogs/ rock crawling.

Thanks guys!

The 2wd arm is pretty weak but if you avoid hard hits it should be fine...

I think you can replace it with a 4x4 upper arm... not 100% on that though.

But here is a upper arm brace...

I also found out that they have shock absorber lifts/ like 2". My only concern is that i can't find any that match my truck! Any luck guys??
