QT Services (click on "New Products") or Scorpion make them.

QT's are £180 +vat & carrage
Scorpion's were £146 but I can't remember if that was plus vat or not, I'll check.  :wink:

I've got a 3" lift and a set of the Scorpion radius arms fitted and you really notice the change once they're fitted.

The 3 degree arms will do you for a 3" lift, give them a ring then they'll be able to advise you if you're not sure. These will change the angle of the axle quite a bit. You'll find out just how much when you try to get the holes to line up!!  :wink:

He alters the angles on the OE radius arms to bring the caster angles back in.  :wink:
My only worry with doing this is, will bending the OE radius arms shorten them at all, pulling the axle backwards?  :?
