Making my own upper control arms

Is it possible to do a straight arm with rod ends instead of the standard bushings? Might be nice for those of us that need the extra alignment adjustment without having to go offset bushings.

The arms that I am building with the straight arms and factory style bushings will have additional caster built into the arms, meaning they will be built in the jig with the ball joint moved rearward. I just want to build something simple and inexpensive and guys could have no problems finding replacement bushings for down the road. The bent ones like above require quite a bit of machining to make.
