my buddy wants me to build him a cheap MID arm setup using junk yard arms...

I found some that should work... Pathfinder rear arms 26.5" or Rodeo rear arms, 23.5"

they are around 1.5" tubes and both have beefy looking rubbers...

(on another note: the Geo Tracker has rear arms that are 18.5" and they could be shortened to use on a lifted XJ)

I am not sure... but the pull it yourself yards do have the arms for only $12 a piece...

so might not be too bad... I mean if it works it would flex way better than stock, be strong than stock and would only cost around $50-60 for the entire setup...

I figured I could use a set of stock lower control arm adjusters and do the same on the upper arms too...


he got the idea when I started planning my 3 link long arm setup...

I WILL NOT be doing this on my Jeep, but it might not be a bad idea
