Here is one way to make an upper arm that will work with the rsc cross brace that alza is going to make.
parts needed for each arm:
2 x hellfire ends (or end of an ss arm)
1 x 5mm threaded rod ($1.10 at my local hardware)
1 x connector nut ($.60 at l-hw-store)
1 x pack Aluminum Washers 3x6x3mm HPI Z819 ($5 shipped)
jb weld
the rod threaded 18 mm into the rod end and i left appx 20mm in the middle to get the max camber i would ever want. then i jb-welded the connector nut.
the pros are that you get a stronger upper a-arm because the rod threads a lot further into the end than does the stock connector.
the only con i see is that you will need to unbolt one end of the arm to adj camber (not really a big deal to me), but the connector nut will help make the adj on each end.
