im mounting my custom made radius arms this weekend "tube added onto existing radius arm" the stock arm is slightly turned in a bit and if i extend them i was just going to weld my 1.5 inch sched 80 tube onto where it tapers down into the threads, if i do this the tube will be on the inside of the frame. ive seen the bought radius arms mounted on the outside of the frame. will this make any difference mounting it on the inside?

If you go to the outside of the frame, you're more likely to have the tire rub on the arm when the steering is turned all the way.

I mounted mine so the arm (bushing) was directly UNDER the frame.
