Skyjacker Radius Arms?

Skyjacker Suspensions RA150L - Skyjacker Radius Arms - Overview - SummitRacing.com


Has anyone installed these arms? Or what have you heard about them?

I really like them, but I believe you need at least a 4" lift for extended arms. These don't specify but I'm looking because I'd like to run them on my Bronco, but I don't really wanna lift it right now.

It appears that they have another set of arms taht are made for 4-6" lifts and specify required parts.

That arms you listed above do not require any additional parts per Summitracing.

Well form reading this installation page. It seems that part number RA150L is only for one Radius arm, not a kit.

Thanks Edge,

I should have asked about extended radius arms in general. Like, what are some good ones? The Superlift ones from JBG look kinda weak and I have heard of them cracking more then once. Just looking for some good radius arms.

For most purposes any of them are good. I have seen pictures of the Rancho ones breaking while doing serious rock-crawling (i.e. dropping the truck on a rock and hitting radius arm).

The BDS ones look very strong, but are also $$$ as is anything BDS. However they have a no BS warranty taht can't be beat.
