sky jackrr arms vs duff lift

[stegomon]

Will a set of sky jacker arms work well with a duff lift?

the guy never installed and he is not sure if it is a set of 2wd or 4wd arms.

you mean 3 inch springs? you would want at least 3 in of spring height to use those critters.

I have a duff lift on a b2. Do you think these puppys will work with a jd lift. And do you know the brand?

 

[bobbywalter]

yes...i have had both on several vehicles.


at one point i would usually run springs to suit my load and ride height goals and the duff arms. also at one point in time duff would not sell individual drops forcing me to mix and match pivots etc.


as long as the springs offer 3 or better in of ride height over stock those arms are good. hell they may work at stock height, never tried them with stock springs.

the longer the arm the better if your starting from center of your caster range.

sweet. thank you

those look like superrunner style or old school jackers though. the jackers had a different tube design for a long time....there were some others that looked exactly like those though and i dont recall the brand....maybe rc...

Those look like arms for a F-150 (looks like the shock mount is on the top of the arm, rather than on the side)

if they are jackers they almost have to be 150 arms as i dont see the trans member mounting pads or the cross member, just the frame only mounts. definitely dont look like rancho junk.

f150 arms wont work and the guy wont get back to me

 

[bobbywalter]

why wont 150 arms work? just make your own trans k member.



before i went to long arms it was my go to setup for longer arms and mild lift. the stock ones are slightly longer....like 3 inches. makes a difference with 3 in springs and relocation of the factory rad arm crossmember. it give you back some caster so you could use the camber bushings mostly for camber correction....win win.


you need a washer sometimes....but they work fine.
