Kia Sportage looks like it could have a good candidate for an upper control arm

Hmmm....Secrets of the trade?

I was wondering if it was close to any current vehicles upper links, so you could order one for a Thunderbird or something similar instead of building your own upper arm.

Sorry about the previous post. I was just giving you a hard time!

The upper arm is about 6.25" C-C.  There are a couple of variables that could be different on another setup that would change the length though...In this setup I was able to achieve nice camber gain, scrub, and enough travel to suit my needs (for now).

Great video.  I was hoping to take my tracker out with you guys in the spring but I don't know if it will keep up with your guy's though.  All I have is a 2" lift, no other upgrades yet.   I guess I have the winter to work on it more.   Keep posting videos, really enjoyed it.

Just found this site and registered to ask questions, but decided to see what was being done with Samurias etc.  I've been a metal fabricator for well over 25 years, built many a vehicle.  All I've got to say is "THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!" :)
