custom radius arm mounts

[97BlackBetty]

These are the ones I just finished installing, also used the cross member to replace the stock trans cross member, its not finished, but it will hold it for going down the road. The arms and cross member were built by ellabit, he had a truggy on here that he was building but parted it out and scrapped the rest. I am running 35 12.50 15's on 10 inch wheels, no idea what the backspacing is. I am going to crawl under and check for rubbage tomorrow but I am pretty sure that I can go lock to lock. The bushings and arm ends actually mount inboard of the frame rails, about 1 1/2 inches.

The notch in the cross member is where the cardan joint is on the front axle, it is clearanced for full droop.

can you take a picture of were on the frame rails your custom job mounts?

any specs on the amount of lenth added to the stock radius arms?




the new rims helped significantly but the tires still rub just a little bit. i am going to grind the "extra" metal off the radius arms for the "fins" that protrude to see if i can get them to not rub. i still will be needing to make new mounts if junkie is right at i break the radius arms and radius arm brackets.

They measure 20" longer over stock. I dont have a camera, if I can find my sisters I will take some pictures of it mounted up.
