Extended Radius Arms
Well I am Radius arm shopping and I am wondering what you guys think about them. First of all tuff country makes a pair that seem to me would be better. This being because there pivot point cant actually pivot unlike all of the other arms I have seen that have a stud on them. All of the other ones being Fabtech, Rancho, etc...I was just wondering what you guys thought. Eithier way they are all about 400 bucks but the tuff country just seem they are designed better. Take a look and see what I mean...

There was a Tuff Country 4" lift on my '95 F150 when I bought it. I don't know that the radius arms are any better or worse than any of the other extended ones available, but I would stay away from the rest of their lift kit system. I could not get the alignment even close to being right even with the adjustable camber bolts they use, and I had to have major cracks in the crossmember from the axle drop brackets welded up. I had the brackets replaced with Superlift, but the guys at the frame shop said it looked like the radius arms were fine, so I left them.

I have a Superlift 6" lift in my 1992 f150 Supercab and I'm going with the Skyjacker Radius Arms (p/n RA150). They are 15" longer than the stock ones, and you use your stock brackets. They will compliment my 4' Stage II Traction Bars from Fabritech. Skyjacker claims 30% more wheel articulation.
