Different Radius Arms

I have put a six inch lift on my Bronco with 35s and I have seriously been considering buying the Long arm kit from JBG. Quite expensive thou. Just going to get some feelers on how they are? If anyone has done them of course. Duh they would look good but for that money I want functionality. Which I think they will.

did you use the stock radius arm brakets? I already have the lift on the truck. And they are saying the arms themselves will work but I must have the stock radius arm brackets.

I believe the kit comes with new brackets:

Front Bracket Kit With Extended Radius Arms

If this ^^ is the kit you are looking at. I would assume, as when you buy the bracket kit without the arms, it shows the radius arm brackets. You could always give them a call and ask for sure.

Front Bracket Kit (4" or 6" Lift)

yes the kit had different brackets because the frame has a different contour further back.

Ya I got up with them and they said the arms themselves would work with my kit now if I had the stock radius arm brackets. That doesnt make much sense to me. I thought the other bracket are totally different.

has nothing to do with the frame further back.


if you have the stock radius arm brackets your set. but if you have a stage 1 lift you probably have drop brackets so those will not work. go to any wrecking yard and get both stock rad brackets and your set. not sure why this is so confusing
