Extended A arms

[lbjamm]

I had one of those kits on mine but the camber was way off. I ended up getting full flights. Way better. Still got the kit but don't know what to do with it. Maybe I'll post it on E-bay.

the reson i bought Full Flight arms is becuase i was in some hard trails and i ripped a ball joint out of my lower control arm. not becuase of the kit but what i believe is a old weak joint.

Yeah, the stock arms suck ass. Especially the toothpick like uppers.

i have bought two sets of the Diamond J +2 arm extenions, one for my qaud and one for my sons. i thought the kit was a good kit the only thing you have too keep a eye on is the bolts looing up after the first one to two rides. we go to a OVR park which has some pretty intense trails (Bundy Hill). the reson i bought Full Flight arms is becuase i was in some hard trails and i ripped a ball joint out of my lower control arm. not becuase of the kit but what i believe is a old weak joint. the shocks where a grest detail softer with the diamond j kit. and alfter riding hard for about 8 hours we arn't beat to hell from the stiff front shocks. it is a good option for someone on a budget and my son still runs the diamond j set and i will be installing my kit on the wifes warrior after the rebuild.

Bundy hill you say? Love that place!

yes the camber is way off for sure but i though the kit was pretty good and like i said i will use mine again. but the if you have the money the full flight is the way to go for sure.

Ok, lets change it a little, (instead of opening a new thread)... What's the best bang for the buck (but not going to make me broke) for aftermarket A arms? NOT extended. Tops / bottoms.

I build my own because you cannot get arms for the 87-88 warriors. I've made a set of uppers, did that back in the summer after a stock upper folded on my. That was to only make a stock length arm. This time I'm making +2s.

So you want a stock length aftermarket arm? No one makes em to my knowledge. An order could be placed for them, but it just makes more sense to get the +2s.

Not trying to get off topic here, but my frame is a bit bent and my wheels have quite a bit of positive camber, I previously thought that I would have to strip down to the frame and figure out how to straighten it, but I read the description for some full flight A-Arms on ebay...

THEY WORK REALLY WELL FOR THAT FRAME THAT HAS BEEN BENT OR TWEEKED A BIT FROM AN ACCIDENT, ALLOWING YOU TO COMPENSATE FOR THE ERRORS AND MISALIGNMENT OF THE FRAME BY GIVING YOU 12 POINTS TO WORK WITH.

Does this mean that all I really need is a set of aftermarket A-Arms and once I get 'em adjusted, the slight frame twisting won't matter anymore?

 

[alex456123]

it will matter but not as much as you can compensate for the twisting by adjusting your heims which will adjust the camber.

Gotcha. I'll take a pic tomorrow of my front wheels and get your guys' opinion on how bad the camber is.

 

[Gen1Pat]

Aftermarket arms will corect it. They just need to have adjustable ball joints (heim style) to adjust the camber. Arms with heim joints for the mounts will offer up another 8 points of alignment adjustment. Not hard to figure out.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

the fullflights are 12 point adjustable I believe

yes full flight are 12 points of adjustment i have a pair but they can be tricky to adjust.

To make it easier for people to understand, you adjust caster FIRST, camber 2nd, and toe last. I can get into it further, but at work right now.
