i just got a sweet deal from jd performance on their a-arms wich are great, they are chromoly, use oversized bllajoint, tig welded and more.

i also got some elka shocks tripple w/o rez. put i havent received the shocks yet...

oh yeah and netween laeger and houser get laeger because housers shock mounts are low and unprotected.

I think I would give a try to merell long travels, houser or jd, depending on the prices and the money I got because the long travels cost more but by how much??and for the shocks Im thinking elkas,triple rates with rezzies but I dont know that much about shocks, preload, ride height SSD, piggybacks and remote etc.. please help me I want informations!!

pep shocks with leager or houser a-arms.

You don't have to buy them all at once you know? You can get the shocks now and have them vavled for +2 a-arms.

As many as it takes to get enough opinions where i can say that these are the shocks and a arms i wanna spend 1500 bucks on. Wow thats what I paid for my long travel(19") quad rate set up.:)


oh yeah and netween laeger and houser get laeger because housers shock mounts are low and unprotected. They sit way low on mine and barely have a dent from banging off all the rocks.


mxracer111 i love my front end I like it too but I like the 1000.00 plus extra in my wallet more:D :rolleyes:


pep shocks with leager or houser a-arms. WHY?


And do yourself a favor and get it all at once, and you can thank me later

Hey 440!! What is the measurement from outside to outside of your front tires with the +1 arms? Thanks in advance!
10-07-2002, 11:16 AM
Funny thats the only measurement I didnt take so I cant just look at the list of the ones I have:(

I will check it out later and post the width with the stock rim and tires that are on there now, but according to Houser the +1 is 1.375 more per arm.

But I know it is not really any wider than the rear measureing by eye.
