userbmx1315 · Jul 9, 2009

ok since i have yet to get long arms, i'm curious as to how hard it is to make them. is there any mate to figure up the lengths of the uppers after i decide to make my lowers? or am i making it harder then it is?i plan on building a new crossmemer to hold them.

If your building it yourself, do a mid arm 3 link.no crossmember to build, less material, works as well as a L/A. no dragging brackets and no unloading when climbing.think rock krawler L/A just shorter. goatman and others have built them. plenty of info on them..just my .02

I think the Iron Rock Offroad is the cheapest kit at $600. I'm running a RK 3-link and I have to say it flexes like crazy.
