could a droped rear arm be developed like the front droped arms
so it stays in line with the rails then drops down to the wheel

With the long arm set up when climbing square steps the arms hit the rock edge and start to lift the weight off the rear wheels before the wheel has a chance to touch and climb the step
And some times lift the wheel off the ground all together
because the arm is lower down further forward between the wheel base
what you think?

Are you asking this question for clearance reasons?

i have run bent lower arms with a brace to increase clearance but ended up pulling them out, as the leave your tail shaft quite vanerable when climbing ledges and steps, at least with straight arms you reduce the chance of a damaged tail shaft, can get pics if you want.wyliespatrol wrote:could a droped rear arm be developed like the front droped arms

Are these long arms designed for trucks with high lifts eg. 5 – 8 inch lifts, or do they work just as effectively with small lifts 3 – 4 inch.

The arms are designed to work with any lift .

No affiliation with superior but have had long arms fora few weeks and wow! The difference is incredible, particularly in transferring hp to the ground. I didnt think something so simple could change a vehicles handling so dramatically. And there are still improvements to be made with new suspension yet!

Are the long arms legal on a road going vehicle?
Re: Superior Long Arms?

I would say not as you have to cut and re-weld the mount to the chassisBryanGUIV wrote:Are the long arms legal on a road going vehicle?

on a little bit different note, what do people do with long arms + GQ wagon + rock sliders, i had to cut the rear slider mount off to fit mine as the arms hit them on full compression, i love having long arms in the rear, excellent improvements on climbing etc, but to me strong sliders are a must and i havent been able to come up with anything good yet
