RE Long Arm specs/dimensions

mntnresq · 11-18-2009, 05:34 PM

So, I have currently an RE 5.5" short arm kit on my '00. I like it, but would like to go to a long arm when I do my axle swap this winter. I have been happy with the RE setup I have, and have heard really nothing but good stuff about their long arm kit. My dilemma is this: Just the upgrade kit to go to the RE long arm is about $1100. Which is about $1000 more than I want to spend.

I have access to all of the fabrication gear, experience, and materials I need, I just need the specs and dimensions for the crossmember/contol arm mounts, etc. Anyone have any ideas on where this might be found? A web search came up dry, and I don't forsee RE just giving me that info....

Yes, I could design and build my own setup, but an unabashed sense of laziness has overcome me.. so why not just duplicate a setup known to be well engineered and constructed?

Thanks

I found a RE long arm kit from a guy on the net for $450 and a sye all I got to do is make a cross member, I would start by getting some DOM tubing and I could give you some # on length

Thanks, that would be a start. The big thing I need is the crossmember data, location of the CA mounts, etc.
