How should I get control arms made for my one ton so that they are an inch shorter anybody have any pics of any made or modded control arms

I would find a reputable shop that already has a jig setup for your body style truck and get them to make you up a tubular set. That would be the easiest but it may not be the cheapest. I think MMW (Michigan Metal Works) had built some of these arms in the past.

Kk that's what I think I might do I had a machinist in my home town make my adapters and mill my wheels I wonder if he could do it

Are tubular the best or can I just cut and narrow mine

I would suggest tubular or plate arms. Narrowing yours will work as long as it is done correctly and with safety in mind.

Not to sound like an idiot what are plate arms

Made from flat plate steel. Here is a pic of some the MMW has done. I don't know how big this picture is going to be but here goes.

i heard there is a company making control arms that are 3 inches longer than stock, and if you use them with a non dually front rotor it pulls the wheel in 3 inches

except for looks, why change arms? i pie cut mine, and the front lays on the ground with a big @ss stock tire, about 3/4 taller than a 24..
