ok so i installed the snake arms today
compared to the original items snake arms are fuggin heavy and well designed
so ... 2 hours to install .... bit of friggin around on my part

i flexed up before and after ... and took pics and stuff
gained about 50mm travel in the front from the arms ... but i think my shocks are limiting ... will flex with out shocks next weekend ... and once new front shock towers go in with new shocks ... more photos then .. but this is from today

Great pics

Did you notice how far the new arms pushed your front axle forward?
Thinking of doing this myself.

They look nice and pretty under there :finger:
They do sit up high, do they sit up higher then standard radius arms on say a 2 or 3" lift?

hahaha :finger: with a 2-3" lift it'll put ur castor out
and will sit high ... and will have lots of down travel
(will top ur shocks out and fuck them and most likely you'll drop a spring out)

will only droop as far as shocks will allow, so the spring shouldnt fall out if the correct shocks have been used,
