BDS Long arm???

440swepty · Jan 5, 2008

I've been looking for info. on the BDS long arm kit. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? I'm not familiar with BDS's quality. I've narrowed my decision to the BDS setup or the RE radius arm (found kit used). I would really like to have the link setup but unsure of the BDS durabillity. Thanks, Kevin

Here's some BDS pics:

i run the bds long arm 6.5 kit and i like it but the sway bar disconnects suck cause they pop off , and when u order the kit order the extreme flex joints for the lower arms its like 140 bucks xtra i think and only grease with silicon grease , other than that i havent been able to break mine hehe and i am verry happy with it

Thats what I plan on going with. Bolt on big dog.

I aint going to buy the whole kit, but just the X member and the upper arms(I guess the upper arms come with the hardware and outer x member braces, not avaliable with just the x member alone). Building my own lower arms.

Thanks for the input. Did you buy your kit directly from BDS or from a dealer? That is my next hurdle. I assume your're talking about getting the flex lowers with one johny joint and one poly joint like in the pirate post. Thanks again, Kevin

yep one jonny and a poly is what i was sayin hehe , but tonite i find out my upper jonny joints are shot also , so i have had it a year and greased it every month and only wheeled it prolly 10 times and not hard so i am rather not impressed with the longevity of the joints but other than that all is good with the rest of the kit
