In the process of replacing my frame and swapping everything over. It appears I have the Allforfunoffroad long travel arms on now. Can anyone with these arms tell me if I can just buy stock radius arm brackets to mount them? The brackets on my current frame are dropped a bit, but in the pictures on Bob's website, it looks like stock brackets.

I haven't visited Bob in a few years, but last I saw him making these, he was still using the stud and head from a stock radius arm with his assemblies. Assuming that's still the case, then yes, you can use the stock radius arm mounting brackets and bushings.

I have Bob's long arms and he supplied me with new frame mount brackets. They are not stock, but I don't see why stock brackets would not work.

I have Bob's long arms also, I removed the stock mount and used the aftermarket mount from Tom's Bronco Parts that has a dowel pin the fits into an existing hole in the bottom of the frame rails about 12" back from the old mount location. Those mounts are beefy.

Bob's arms use the cap and stud from original arms, but are longer, beefier, and have a slight bend in them for more tire clearance at full lock.

Yes, I'm pretty sure Bob makes them for Tom's. They appear to be the same as what I have as pictured above with the locating dowel that fits into the bottom of the frame
