Custom Torque Arm

Has anyone tried to replicate an aftermarket torque arm at home, specifically those offerings from BMR? I’m switching to an LS1 T56 trans. and Ford 9” rear, and I’d like to build an arm that locates somewhere other than the transmission tailshaft. What are the advantages to running a shorter torque arm, such as BMR’s? If anyone has built their own, what are some of your material specs?

I believe someone sells a kit to shorten the stock TA and use a chassis mounted cross brace. This might be a good starting point for you.
