Keep it light and make it strong at the same time. There are a bunch of off-road forums where you can see some examples... some good, some bad.

Thanks for the info!
It seems like the site im usually on pirate4x4 has far too many bad examples haha.
He wants the arms a bit wider than stock as well. do you think it is a must to build them from chromoly sheet? or will standard mild steel suffice?
