I decided early on in the rebuild - right about the time the powder coater said he couldn't guarantee the survival of the ball joints on the stock upper J-arms or lower A-arms - I was going to do an A-arm conversion and the folks at ATV Racing had a nice pre-fabbed kit, ready to weld in at a reasonable price. Since my welding skills are pathetic at best, I farmed this job out to Banister Iron Works in Escondido, CA. They did a fantastic job and the installation was nearly perfect. I decided to alter the "normal" installation of the kit and leave the existing rear mount in place to help stiffen up the pivot bolt for the new upper A-arms. You can clearly see the kit in the pictures.
