Can you get flex joints in those arms? Rather some flex joint on one end with short arms over even some stock longer arms. Arms aren't expensive to make
I dunno I was eyeing these arms and wondering about a 1.25 heim on frame side. Yeah probably just end up making arms.
myswell go long arms since I'm doing it. I think even if I go 7/8" heims illbe better off than the fctor jeep mid arms. Just trying to save pennies
So this is finally starting to come together.
hung the houseing today have about 10deg to much castor but flat arms. I just learned these arms are adjustable so ill see if I can shorten them an 1" or so and get rid of some castor.
I'm on kick lately trans, clutch, rear end, now front I have some 1.25" heims and bungs to fit 2" tube enroute. Ws planning to get castor locked down with short arms kind get the bugs worked out then go lng arm. It may not happen that wy with so much cstor to kill Just thught id share in this thread since this is actually happening raised arms at axle end. Ohhh im also going to run the upper off the passenger side and raise it to. Helk if i can get castor sorted out with these short arms il run the 3link like i said for awhile.
Was able to get castor adjusted correctly last night.
I'm excited how flat the arms are. I always wanted foat arms. It should improve least alittle bit somewhere Now need t figureca home for the shocks. Starting to see that in my head
Your next issue is going to be the same issue I have. The arc of travel from the short arms will most likely be too much and force the coils to bend back and the shock bushings to get a work out. I'm going 3 link in the near future because of that arc, 13"s of travel on short arms has it's own issues. You could run limit straps though.
I should have the same amount of travel as before. But now arms are working fr the center. 9.1 stoke so not much travel but enough.
I'm going to run this as is . But I already hve arm brackets in mock up stage on the parts jeep. Only thing storing me is 1.25 heims are in route. And money I should do all new on this axle. But my take everything off the Cad axle and swap it over.
Your right I may run into issues. The fox shock bushings seem to work well. Going in some misalignment. I stil need to tackle re mounting them maybe today so far I've only worked on they're mounts in my head.

Any update? Very interested! I’m looking to do the same thing, 3 link with raised control arm mounts and reinforced upper mount.
