Anyone have any opinions on this or some info on these.
Looking at the rough county long arm upgrade and the BDS long arm upgrade.
so far this is what the main differences are for me that im seeing.
BDS
$1100 with extra T case skid free shipping to local dealer.
4 link long arm
seems beefy
good warranty
Rough Country
750 shipped come with skid plate
radius long arm kit
good warrenty
seems decent from what review ive found.
Anyone know much more or have either kit or seen them in action.

Rolled into VT to snowboard some much needed vertical drop around 4:30pm today. It's around 10* right now, with a high of 8* and -10* wind chill tomorrow, and a high of -2* and -38* wind chill Wednesday. It's supposed to warm up to a balmy 13* by Friday. Brrrr!!!
Also, ran into a group of college kids from MD on their first trip up this way. They just got here today and are super geeked to hit the hill tomorrow. Glad to have given them the beta on where and where not to go out there.

RC has great customer service, and their product is getting better. Their long arms with the rebuildable flex joints are good.
If you're going to spend that kind of money on long arms, I recommend you look at Clayton Offroad's long arms (radius arms or 3 link), or Serious Offroad (Radius arm). Both use rebuildable joints at least on one end.

I assure you Clayon's kit WILL do "something" for you...lol. Uses real Currie johnny joints, not a cheap knockoff. I dare you to break them.
