After fielding a few phone calls and emails asking about various suspension setups, we decided to show you what we can offer. Introducing the Battlement Fabrication 4-link/Radius arm setup. This is a complete setup for both axles.
Up front we have our cool guy radius arms. These are built using 2” OD 0.25 wall tubing. All the joints and brackets for the set are:
(2) 2.63” Forged Chromoly threaded Ballistic Joints for fine adjustment
(2) 1” Ruffstuff adjustable Heims with stepdown spacers
(4) 2” Bushings w/ grease fitting
(2) Battlement Fabrication Saddle Brackets
(2) Battlement Fabrication Frame mount brackets
(2) Battlement Fabrication Radius Arm/Coilover axle mount
OR
(2) Battlement Fabrication Radius Arm/Coil spring axle mount with integrated shock mount
Misc. 9/16 hardware
Our saddle brackets are designed so you can move either the bracket or heim for tuning your caster to exactly where you want it.
For the rear 4-link we use 2”, 2.1/4” or 2.1/2” tubing with either 1” or 7/8” adjustable Heims with the proper size tube inserts, depending on what your needs are. Bracketry includes:
(2) Battlement Fabrication Frame mount brackets
(2) Battlement Fabrication Upper Axle Mounts
(2) Battlement Fabrication Lower Axle Mount
(2) Battlement Fabrication Shock Tabs
For the rear, the Ruffstuff heims are LH/RH thread to allow adjustment while on the vehicle, utilizing locknuts to keep everything in place when you have it where you want it.
This IS NOT a one size fits all setup. We will work with you for your specific fitment. Whether you need a different style bracket, longer tubes, or whatever else you can think of. We design our suspensions to be flexible to your vehicle and your needs. This setup has been modified on our end for use on Jeeps and Toyotas as well as the Broncos it was designed for. Prices start at $1200 for front and rear. We can also do just front or rear setups.

Feel free to call, email, or PM us with any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!

It would be nice if you included your phone number in the post as well as a price range. Looks nice though.

Do you have any more pics of the front end. I would like to see how the links attach. I am thinking about doing this to a build. Thanks!

Some more pics of the radius arms that are currently on my EB. Tomorrow Ill post up pics of a set on a buggy.

The EB has been used pretty hard this year, excuse the lack of paint all over lol.

The arms here are 5" longer than stock arms are, and we have three options for the axle mount:

1. coil springs and springs (which I will be installing on the EB in the shop)

2. Coilovers

3. Coilovers with a riser mount that will come up higher than the knuckle and miss the high steer arm if you are running one.

We can also include some DIY builder parts for hoops, tabs, and an engine cage to provide support to the coilovers.

We have a couple options for the frame:

1. typical frame mount bracket that can go in place of your stock mount and can be like the one shown, or we can supply one that runs up the frame and can be drilled and bolted on

2. An inboard mount that moves the mounts to the inside of the frame and provides options depending on what is in the way.

The center hole on the axle bracket is for our air bump bad, or to run a bolt with DOM sleeve through to provide more structure. The air bump pad is 1/4" with a 3/8" pad for the bumps to hit on as shown here:

24871_425525966216_294171231216_5654243_1014936_n.jpg


The main problem with radius arms is squares dont tend to move much, and by moving them inboard, even a couple of inches, you will gain travel, and in most cases, avoid putting a bend in the arm. The size and type of bushing also has a huge effect on how the arms travel.

Anyway, some more info for folks, we have had a huge amount of interest in these and want to answer all the questions we can, so shoot us a message and we will get back to you as quickly as possible!
