On our last trip to glamis last weekend we popped the right ball joint out on our 88 shee(or 87, i dont know, but it is the one with J-Arms), welded it back on, then broke the arm, our shee has a really wide axle, so we figured we'd just get some a-arms that were a little bit wider, like maybe 2-3 inches. what do you guys think that we should get? i dont know too much about a-arm companies etc, i'm more of a bike guy so enlighten me, also how much will we be paying(ballpark) for a good set, but we dont need top of the line. would the kit we buy come with lower a-arms and upper j-arms?

 

i dont think you can buy aftermerket, extended J-arms. you can buy an a-arms conversion for it for a decent price, then get some a-arms on there

 

I am sure someone makes wider J-arms (I have a set of custom narrow J-arms on one of my banshees), but even the stockers were weak so I wouldn't want to go any wider. A-arm conversion is a possibility, but you can buy a A-arm frame and transfer your stuff over easier.

 

monolith can you explain where i can get all that?

 

Heres one i found through google, i know other places make them too.

then after the conversion you can either gets some stock a-arms or go with burgard, ASR (2 of the cheaper a-arm makers. i have ASR's, they are ok).. then the more expensive and better quality ones like Laeger, Diamond Racing, Herrmann, etc

link doesnt seem to be working, just copy and paste it in the address bar..

 

i think we're going to go with some asr +3 up 1's, id it +3 per side for a total of 6 inches?

 

you got it

 

wow thats really wide, i'm thinking maybe 2 up 1's are the way to go then

 

whats the difference from PSP to american star ones?

 

PSP to sport star? im not really sure.. cant seem to figure it out myself.. but psp's cost more lol
