    Anything is possible with enough cutting and welding...

    But why?

    Yeah, of course it would be wider, but that by itself does not offer any sort of performance gain.

    For the amount of fabrication you'd likely need, you might as well just go long travel and get FAR superior performance.

    I see a lot of people with an obsession of trying to upgrade their lower control arms, when it really isn't necessary unless you are going for long travel. The LCAs are not the weak point of the suspension.
