Default rear swing arm strength discovery

pulled both lower rear swing arms off yesterday and swaged 1" seamless line pipe over the arms, used a hydraulic swaging machine and crimped it down tight to the arm, and refitted to disco,
way stronger arm but not after market, still factory but beefed up.
Will get pics if people interested.
