Soooooo

What does everyone think of these extended radius arms? I will make a few slight changes- but these seem to be what I want...

How would they work? Would your vehicle need to stand on its nose?

I feel like there needs to be a swivel on the end of those to help prevent binding, or am I wrong?

upgrading to anything less than a 3/4 ton, or 1 ton axle may leave you wondering why you didn't go the extra mile for a good solid axle.


Just my two cents.

That is true.


I have dreamed of upgrading to heavier axles, because I feel these 37s are really on the edge of too much tire for the axle, but that won't be for several years. If I do go larger axles, I will move to 40" or 42" I think.


Maybe I would be better to trade the jeep for one with that stuff already added. (4-6) years maybe?

well, I am not certain, I think I owned my green one for about 5 years. I would have never gotten rid of it, except the wife wanted me to get a "cuter" jeep.
Well... I may not have had much left to work with if I would have kept it, but I might have still had it.
