Are these a-arms actually designed to use the stock shocks?
I know that standard travel a-arms use the stock length shocks, but that's not the same thing. Just because the stock shocks bolt up doesn't mean they work correctly, you have to get shocks specifically set up for the added leverage.
But Laeger has two different products listed on the website, a "Recreational A-arm kit" (which I assume would use stock length shocks) and a "Stock Shock A-arm kit".
I think it would be possible to do, that you could design a set of +2 a-arms to perform properly with the stock shocks. The added leverage would be compensated by using a different mounting location. I had this same idea a couple years ago.
But did Laeger actually do it? Are these a-arms really designed to be used with stock shocks, not just stock length? I can't seem to find any information online, any reviews or anything, and I would imagine a product like this would be bigger news?!?
