Radias Arm Bracket Hole

Anyone happen to know the hole diameter that the radias arm bolts up to? Trying not to take mine apart yet and I am drawing some up on autocad so I can make some. Does the bushing go inside the hole?

Radias arm "BRACKET" (the part that bolts to the frame) I need to drop them down, arms are at too much of an angle.

Lifted and has stock brackets on. The question was the size of the hole, its not why the angle. Maybe it would be easier to take mine apart.

You sound like my dad. :) He was a momma's boy and would throw a hissy
fit when things didn't go his way and would try to lay a guilt trip on anybody
friggin stupid enough to fall for it.
It won't work on me, I'm #%#in' immune! :)
You throw all the hissy fit crap you want and I'll just laugh at you. :)
(not like your momma would do, see? ;)

2wd or 4wd?
Simple enough question, why should a guy go out of his way to measure
something that's not going to help?

Why the angle?
This too seems like a simple enough question, heck they are just showing
an interest in what you are doing. {shrug}

These are for 2wd because that's what I've got...
1+3/8" diameter hole and 1" thick.

The shoulder on the radius arm is 3" long on the sheet metal type radius arm
and 1/8" shorter than that for the forged type radius arm.

And yes the rubber goes inside the hole.

ps- on the radio at work if someone said something like that everybody and
their brother would key their mic and go "WaaaaWaaaa" LOL :)

Wow e-thug,,, who's throwing the hissy fit? LMFAO I guess the benefits to the internet any one can be tough. You posted Like I care what you think of me, as long as I get my answer I'm good. I was not trying a guilt trip I just figured since apparently I did'nt post enough info I would just take it apart and get my measurements, but as long as my thread help you bully someone around and make you feel better about yourself then my job is done.

Read my post before Alvin posted, and point out the attitude, if there is your sad little man because I have read other post from other people that had more attitude than me and I did'nt see Alvin or you post up. And as for your question, well it got me off my *** and go outside and do it myself thats what it got me, the right answer.

I think it was the line "The question was the size of the hole, its not why the angle"
It just sounds like you're being short with the guy, like you are annoyed that he asked for more info, instead of just hurrying up and answering your question. That may not have been your intention, and I know its tricky when trying to convey subtlties when typing instead of being face to face, but that's how it sounded to me. And the fact that your response is to insult people instead of trying to clear the matter up makes me think that is what you intended in the first place. What say you?

I'll give you that, however why ask about the angle when I asked about the hole size. There are some pretty smart people on here so I figured they would know I was on track with something that I pretty much had a handle on, just needed a hole size, as many people have done there own work I figured someone would have one laying around. When I post again and be more specific.

That one "very special" guy... ;)

I was just going by what it sounded like to me and what it reminded me of. :)
I don't know nuthin more than that! :/

Takes two to have a misunderstanding and I'm really good at back pedaling
when shown I'm the one that messed up. :) Got lots of practice. ;)

I messed up posting any more than the PS- ...but that had to be said to pick
on you, just to see how you'd take it. ;)

But uhhhh... So, why ask why, about the why? ;)

Alvin in AZ with nothing better to do than post crap on the internet. :/

I worked with one guy that'd do that and I told 'im one day...
"it's really embarrassing when you do that :/"
"why? :/"
"because you sound like a friggin goat instead of a baby cryin' danggit! :) LOL"
So after that, when he felt the need to pick on somebody he'd hand the
mic to me to WaaaWaaa for 'im. :) LOL ...didn't happen too often, a guy
was careful not to whine over the radio. :)
