Are you kidding! :roll:
Maybe Myself "Superior", Snake, Thirds, Dobins and Nissan ( and other manufacturs i have not mentioned " apologies")should have just sold a pullout pin for $99 as a "offroad Pack " instead of the R&D we all done. We could have been millionaires :? ( I am sure a million other nissan owners since 89 have thought of this.

Maybe i am missing something but i need someone to explain the difference in this Setup from just pullin the bolt out of a radius arm, the public would save themselves $1500 ? Nothing negative towards the guy who posted but i cant understand it??
All i can see is way more negatives to positives and a very dangerous design. Their are heaps of better options on the market for just as much flex and heaps cheaper ! :? :?

Since when? Have never "needed" to run swaybars on my shorty with superior arms, in fact, they aren't even drilled to bolt them on to start with

When removing one passengers side front bolt the remaining 3 are un able to stop the diff from rotating around under your 4by and tearing the shit out of the drivers side bushes letting the passengers front wheel move loosely front to back

With the Mega flex arms the arms are still a 3 point fixing for each arm the back into the chassis and the 2 on the diff this arrangement stops all lateral movement front to back that is why Nissan, Suzuki, Range rover & Toyota all use and have used this method

As the pivot on the passenger's side moves it will pull that side of the diff back toward the rear of the car, you would need to chop a lot more out of your guards to clear your tyres if they were already fairly close with your previous arms. Can you tell us how close the passenger front tyre comes to the guard in full up travel compared to your previous set up?

And in the real world does it steer itself in an uncomfortable way?

I know this is an old topic but ia was wondering if you are still running these arms, if so i think they have proven themselves. Are you still making them?
