I have seen some people fab there own up. If you do a search i'm sure you can find the threads. For like $120 you can just buy one and not go threw the hassle.

Re: anyone make an adjustable torque arm?
I bought the one from spohn with the adjustable pinion and the front torque arm mount on the trans cross member......... BEST THING I DID FOR TRACTION AND LAUNCH. Kind of pricey but worth it. Jegs and summit sell some that arre mounted to the trans.

UMI (a TGO sponsor) makes them too..... UMIPerformance.com
I looked at Spohn.net's site.....And you cannot get one for $120, like 84Z28 said.
Your looking at $280 & up, from ANY place that makes them.

Re: anyone make an adjustable torque arm?
i made my own. i was a good learning experience but a PITA. it works best if you have SFCs and run a crossmember to connect the shackle to.

Re: anyone make an adjustable torque arm?
Here's one that customblackbird made:

Lots of good info in there, even has links to where he got everything. You're gonna have to fab up your own forward mounting point too though, he reused his jegster tunnel mount piece. There's more than one way of designing that mount though
