Aluminum front beam.

Anybody ever thought of making an aluminum front beam for ball joint front suspension. They are made for link pin front ends. I just weighed my front beam with trailing arms and it was 69 lbs. If that could be dropped to 36 lbs that would be a pretty good weight savings. I just think about this everytime I have to move my front end around my garage. I know it is taking weight away from the end where it is needed most but what do you guys think.
