bent the crap out my rear trailing arms over the weekend. not sure the direction i wanna go with new ones. if i go wider its not going to fit on my trailer (without modifications). really dont want to spend a bunch of money if im not "improving" something. dont wanna go longer because my weight bias is to far forwards as it is. i was thinking maybe stock x 1 trailing arms but not sure. whats the chances my present axles will still fit if i go 1" longer? does anyone on here make stock x stock or stock x 1 trailing arms?

moore parts called me today and said they couldnt get the arms i ordered so they asked me if i wanted to upgrade to the heavy duty version for the same price. I asked them why they even called thats a no brainer.
not sure what they mean by heavy duty maybe chromoly instead of mild steel? i guess ill know next week when i get them.
