Has anyone ever used them before?
I want them for my 450r they seem to be fairly cheap, but I dont want something that will snap off the first big air I try with them. I wish I could afford lonestar again as I have on my 416ex.

I recently installed a geforce axle and its been ok.

I personally would not use arms that use hiems on the lowers. There is no need for adjustability at the frame. The hiems are not used in the direction that they are rated. I know there are a lot of people using the hiems on the lowers but that does not make it correct. I noticed that the hiems shown in the picture appear to be a inexpensive mild steel hiem which I have found that the housings tend to stretch and then the ball is loose. Just my opinion.

Well I gave in and ordered burgard +2+1 nickel plated arms. I should see them next week sometime. Now I only have to save up to send out my shocks.

I fully agree. Heims are ok for uppers but not lowers because the lowers are what take the initial impact. I would much rather have some beefy 4130 chromoly tubing attaching the lower arm to the frame, than a threaded heim joint. What's going to break easier, a threaded bolt, or a chromoly steel tube? It's an easy choice, heim lowers are just plain sketchy.

I just installed my new arms and I mesure about 48inches wide with my stock shocks set to the same ride height I had them set on with my stock arms.

They dont seem to be at or over 50 inches as I was afraid of.

Oh and the breakline seem as though they would have fit +3's :(


I put that g-force +3 axle on and its right at 50inches, thats another reason I guess my shocks need to be done for it to sit at the widtch I wanted
