Newport Perry country? There's a bunch, but it's all in who you know

 

Anybody have any experience building their own long arms? I'm looking at you, Neal and Jake. My main concern is how to make the crossmember and getting all the angles right

 

i traded my drop brackets for a home made 3 link long arm set up, had to do a bunch of customizing to make it work also, but how mine works is the brackets horse shoe the unirails and have the arm mounts on the inside of the brackets that are welded to the unirail, drivers side has a upper arm bracket welded to the inside about 1" from the floor pan and the lower mount is right below it but obviously enough room so that the arms dont hit, and then the passenger side is just one mount in the same position as drivers side. Then it has a removable bolt on cross member so i can remove tcase/trans/etc if needed, jake assisted in the welding process. Jakes long arm mounts come through his floor if you dont mind that style

 

I made a reply a few hours ago.... But Idk what happened to it.. Stupid fawking app.


What kind of long arm? Radius? 3 link? 4 link? Triangulated? Front? Rear? Need more details! And what angles are you having trouble with?

 

P.s. Nieeal did not make his 3 link

 

Sketchiest thing you'll see this week? It was too late go rent the spring compressor

 

hahaha why do you need a compressor? Never used one even on my 5.5" coils

 

What happened to all the new ppls? Must have scared them away

 

These were 5.5" coils, weren't even close to going in with the LCA and the brake line off

 

did you disconnect lower track bar bolt? Thats always the trick

 

Nope, but noted. I'll do that when I do the other side tomorrow.

 

it really is the key though, good luck, takes about a minute to throw in with the lower bolt out

 

kinda new to the site had a jeep before and got rid of it and couldnt resist getting another one.
have a 95 with 3.5in lift 31x10.5
has a locker up front and a ford8.8 rear
just got a light bar for it so havent had time to put it on
plan on doing a 6.5-8.5 in lift bumpers and winch
