Reinforced parts (Heavy-Duty) for Fuso steering

I'm going to modify the offset on my Fuso. It currently has 37-inch +95 tires. I want to gain about 8 cm of track width between wheels, so I'm considering 4 cm spacers per wheel.
Changing the track width requires improving or strengthening certain parts, such as ball joints and steering arms, as well as anchoring or better securing the steering box.
It's quite difficult to find reinforced or heavy-duty parts for our vehicles. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks in advance.
 
As I said in your other thread, spacers will add quite a bit of additional force on your wheel bearings.
I also eluded to the legality of wheel spacers. If they are not legal in your country, then all of this is a moot point and not worth wasting your time thinking about.

As I mentioned in the other thread, there is an engineer and everything is legal. I don't know about Australia, but in Spain it is very difficult to change anything on a vehicle without engineering and a laboratory test.
 
In Oz, it is easier to change stuff on vehicles over 4.5T GVM than light vehicles, but wheel spacers are banned on all vehicles unless they were originally fitted by the manufacturer.

Well, if that's the case, it's even worse there in Australia than here.
 
The better way would be to just get a wider axle.

Why do you want to modify the track width?
The truck, when moving to 17 and 17 tires and with 340cm, gains in off-road capabilities but loses a lot of stability, the option of a wider axle is much more expensive.
