I have the 5.5 in longarm kit fron rubicon express. One of the upper arms is bent about 30degrees and the other one is sheard off at the axle end of the tube. If i was to weld the one together and have the other one bent back would that be alright? Or is there too much stress on these parts to risk it?

thanks

 

I would not have it bent back and reuse it for anything more than a trail spare.

Every time you bend steal you change how hard and strong it is in different area's.

 

if it was damaged during normal use, not jumping your jeep, rubicon express will warranty it.

if not, just buy new ones.

 

if you can weld the broken one then why not fab up a set of HEAVY DUTY ones.

 

that was plan b if plan a failed.


And it didn't break from everyday abuse. the jeep was rolled

 

while your at it, fab up a cage. ya know, cause we all have the time and the money to do this kind of thing to our rigs.

 

Other than the lca How did it do? Other damage? Pic's of the craziness?

 

no pics, but the driver side and roof rack weredecently damaged. The one lower arm looks slightly tweaked but i'll see how bad it is when i put it on. One of the swaybar disconnects is a little bent aswell. Shocks are toast too. Other than that it doesnt look too bad.
