Show me your flex with stock arms!

[Bundy]

I am torn between going big and doing extended radius arms or just keeping my stock ones and getting the different degree C-bushings.

Right now I have shit for travel. I think I just want to run the WH shock hoop, 4.5" coils, whatever degree bushings are recommended and seeing where that leaves me in the front.

That is why I am asking for anyone who is running a basic setup with stock length arms to show me your pics so I can decide if I want to spend the time and effort on major upgrades versus "bolts on mods" and be happy. (i know the WH hoop is weld in)

So, post up those pics! I guess if you have extended arms, I wouldn't mind seeing that too ;D

I still want a set them arms!

Stock arms and shocks in stock location no hoops. I put the Cage arms in later for turning radius. 5.5 JBG Superflex lift and dropped radius arm brackets.

May I ask what the benefit of having aftermarket arms is if they are no longer? Is it just a strength thing? What steering do you have on your rig?

I love the LUBR by the way, very cool.

thanks for the post! is that a stock shock location in the rear?

the bc arms at stock length have heims instead of bushings and the caster is adjustable.

okay, that makes sense but in relation to you lifting your rig, what would cause your caster to be have to be adjusted?

Extended radius arms 100%.

Stock arms:

Cage Arms:
I could get more travel when I add my 250 shock towers.

 

[Bundy]

Pokey, the cage arms are extended length, right? How much lift are you running?

Also, what kind of speakers are those in the back? I have been looking for some of those!

Stock arms, 3 1/2" coils. 14" Bilsteins w/F-250 mounts. It works surprisingly well.

3.5 WH lift with 2"BL

www.bcbroncos.com/suspensionfront.html about 1/2 way down the page. Stock arms with the WAH. It will go 45" vertical up a ramp either end. It is not the best but very close and still road worthy 70+

The heims in the back greatly increase articulation. And the caster needs to be adjusted on all EBs except stock lifts and some of the stockers will be out of spechs. Also the adjustable caster fixes bronco lean caused by the the C-bushings.

THAT is what I'm looking for;D I think that would eliminate almost all of the torque in the axle housing. Are those current prices on that page?

Yes, stock on all 4 corners with the shocks JBG sent with the kit.

Here are a couple of pics with the stock length BC arms, this is without the WAH which is to be added later.

I just installed one on my rig and it did NOT take 7 hours like one of the tech posts i saw on it. It took me less than 4 and i'm pretty meticulous. very solid item chuck has there.

Yes it does and yes the price is correct.

The time to install varies greatly depending on the condition of the inside of the axle tube.
