There was an interesting thread about this on the HML.
One of the Desert Racer guys showed some pics of a reinforcement he made out of some strap that went across the truck betwwen the mounting points to prevent this happening.
I can try and cross post the pic if anyone is interested
Cheers

Hi Al,
It's not so much beefing up the A Arm as stopping the crossmembers from flexing and tearing.
These are pics taken by Cole (Hummin2london) on the HML.
Note that he has a really solid "Bash plate" protector under the diff too.
I think you could actually improve the design by using some angle iron instead of the flat strap for the brace.
Cheers
