Did a search for this and got a little info. One of my lower arm holes seems to have gotten bigger. Anyone know where I can get oversized ball joints so that i dont have to replace arm?

I would replace the arm
once the hole starts enlarging it seems like they don't stop
also don't try to weld the ball joint in
this may ruin the joint and weaken the arm further

does anyone make tubular lowers?Global West and Fat Man fabrications make them...

Based on what I have read here and on other sites, the GW seem to be a better engineered lower arm (designed to improve handling?) and the FM more just a tubular replacement (not really sure though).
