Check out Skyjacker. I tend to like them the best for TTB suspensions such as yours. Mustangs don't have radius arms. MustangGT221 is refering to his f150. Other companies that make extended rad arms include Superlift, Rancho, and Fabtech to name a few.

I have the skyjacker radius arms, and you won't snap a radius arm by the tires rubbing. The only time I ever bent a radius arm was in a car accident. You broke four? You are talking about the bar that goes from the suspension arm to a bracket on the frame almost under the door right? Since you have a lift, you can get them. Also, please use the edit button to add/change something in your posts rather than making a 2nd post.

I know what a radius arm is and I know that I broke four of them. There is a spot on the radius arm that is very shining therefore is from the tires rubbing in a certain spot when you turn. I am reall led to believe that when turning sharply the tires rub on the arms and weaken the radius arm. I have no idea what else it could possibly be. Do you have stock radius arm mounts or are they the drop ones with the extended radius arms. Also do you have stock radius arm bushings. I heard those were the best because they allowed a lot more flexibilty then the aftermarket ones.

I have the skyjacker extended radius arms with poly bushings that came with my lift kit. Mine still rub, it's almost inevitable w/ wide tires. It doesn't weaken the arm at all, its just rubber rubbing metal...how does that weaken it? All it does is rub the paint off.
