welds look fine



Threaded rod seems to be about 1 1/4" thick.


I picked up the box from outside and was like "gosh these are heavy". Each arm weighs 10 pounds. They are made very beefy.

how much did the front lowers run you?

$173 shipped ($159) but the price seemed to go up sometime in the past 4 days since i bought mine:

nice..let me know how they bolt up.I may have to order a full setup both upper and lowers..

I can't find these x-flex arms listed as uppers on their accessories page but if i click on the xj 6.5" lift, they show both new uppers and lowers.

It's an option in the drop down menu in that section. I figure once I get the drop brackets I may as well just replace the arms and go adjustable all the way around. So let us know how they ride and how the install goes.

muddeprived

yeah that's what i am doing now, drop brackets and these arms but keeping the uppers stock. I needed adjustment in the lowers because the stock uppers seem to be too long with the drop brackets and it makes my sway bar hit the springs so i need to scoot forward the bottom of the axle a little. That's where these arms come in play. I tried using the adjustable caster slots (caster adjustment) in the drop brackets but you can only go so far foward before the caster bracket nuts won't thread on.

why not install them the other way?

so the grease fittings arent at the mercy of obstacles?

im surprised they arent bent like their previous arms. the bend they put in them is so they dont bottom out on the shock mount when flexed (re uses an offset bushing to alleviate this)

muddeprived

That's how the directions say to mount them although the other way would make more sense. The poly end zerk will still be pointing straight down and liable to get snapped off.

just flip the poly end around so the zerk is facing up

Then I can't grease it unless removing the bolt.
