I bought a used James duff stage 2 lift with no instructions. I need to know where to place the radius arm mounts. Can anyone out there help me. I would really appreciate it!!

You still haven't put that thing on? Get with the program!

You'll have to grind off the rivots of your existing brackets. Then bolt up the drop brackets to those rivot holes. Then bolt your radius arm brackets to the drop brackets. Same story on the I-beam brackets.

I was in Idaho 2 weeks ago and found a complete stage 2 kit, used for $500, it has the extended radius arms and I'm not sure where to mount them. The new arms are about 15" longer then the stock ones. Oh ya and I ve been working 65 hours a week down town seattle, you know what that commute is like.

I beleive that you bolt the radius arms up to the axle first and them find out where the the extend arms line up on the frame. Some kits require the crossmember for the trans to be modified. Have you gone to Duff and look for a PDF file with instructions? I had to do that with the lift that I am putting on my new wheeler.

here is the shock mount instructions. I couldn't find it right off hand from duff. You might e-mail them for the info.

BTW Nobody I got the front done. I know it is a pict of your favorite vehicle. But I think that the last few have been your favorites.
