I'd really like to get my turning radius back or at least as good as it can be with 35 inch tires on a two and a half inch lift.
I've been looking at James stuff stock length radius arms, and I was wondering if anybody wanted to share any experiences related to those arms?

Thanks,
John

the t rex arms? i think everyone that has them loves them. i haven't seen one bad review on them.
Yes, but will they accomplish the goal of improving my turning radius? The James stuff site does not have a vertical picture so I don't have any idea about the geometry.

Thanks,
JB

Ordered this morning! Duff salesperson was very nice, but seemed to know less about the stuff than I did. Eventually, we came up with the same BOM that I created online, with 7 degree C-bushings for my 2.5" lift.

JB - Thank you for your order, do you remember which salesperson helped you? I have some new team members and I would like to learn more about your experience.

Also, I have noted that we need a top-down photo of the arms so we can show the extra clearance provided by them.

I have to say I was looking at ordering some parts from duffs and the website is confusing as hell, or I’m just not doing it right. It keeps asking do you want to and this and this like it’s a package. I just want to and the parts I want and that’s it. Anyone else have this issue? I am looking at it with my phone so maybe not browser friendly?

lol!! i'm glad someone else felt the same. it's much easier to order on a desktop vs mobile.

We built the website this way because the one before we dealt with the opposite end of the spectrum where customers were not getting all the parts they thought they needed or they assumed they were included in the kit. You can always call us and one of our salesman will be glad to walk you through the purchase. We're also making some adjustments to the website to make it better and easier to use on mobile devices, but yes using a desktop is the preferred method.

I don't remember the name. I called because I wanted to check on my specific parts list because I have a 76 disc front end in a 71 with 2.5 inch lift. In the end, I had to work with the salesman to end up with the list I had created online. He did advise 7 degree c bushings, but seemed unsure about the recommendation.
Overall, very nice and friendly but lacking knowledge of EB parts combos.

Thanks,
JB
