Thanks man I really don't think they would break it's just all this negative feed back has got me doubting these arms the box it self acts as a gusset the only difference between mine an chevy mike is I don't have gussets on the back side I left all the structure to the arm it's self just raise the joint if you cut the arm in half yea u have got to put gussets but raising the ball joint an boxing it in should be just as strong that's just my way of thinking
