Im not sure how you would make a bracket, without it being very elaborate...

Are you saying otherwise just cut off the stock one and install one of these in the LCA?



2500hd lower control arms seem hard to find...they almost never break and people usually dont replace them so there isnt a lot of ones floating out there for cheap to try.

Not that bracket. I was referring to the factory bracket that bolts on to the 2500 arms. looks like these...



There is an HD at work, I took some pictures and will compare it to my other truck. I don't currently know if it is possible to modify a 1500 arm to accept that bracket. I also do not know if it is possible to swap to a 2500 lower arm yet...

Was thinking about buying it. I have a factory set of 1500 arm's in the garage that I could compare it to. The arms on the 2500HD at work is different.

If I get time, I will run buy a local junk yard and see what they have. That place is 1.5 hours away from me.
