its probably going to get scraped withe the other one i have . i have two. they both have 4" lift backets too. one rancho, and one trailmaster.
you can run 4 degree and stock arms just fine. its temp anyways cause im soon going to place a large hyme joint on the end of the arm instead of a bushing. Any thoughts?
i think it will give a better travel with out having a bushing that binds up and twists.

cool if your just gonna junk the ttb i'll take them off your hand's if it's cool. i gotta a buddy who can pick them up. mainly looking for the ttb arms diff side and knuckle out stuff.

on the radius arm stuff i think i mentioned it, but if not i think rock stomper makes exstended radius arm pieces and you can get them with heim or without. they just screw on the end of your stock arm and you weld the end to the arm. if i can find a link i'll post it up.

if you can't find a link to that I maybe able to hook you up with a link from squattyd over a FSB.com. he made some nice extended arms with heims on the end.....it looked pretty simple.

DBrown is right that was the same link i had i mind. anyway is stonecrusher not rock stomper. SquattyD made these for the rear of his fullsize rig and they got BEEF!!!!! you dont have to box the whole arm though but, you'll probably never have to worry about them again if you do.

ok i checked out his arms on fsb and i think he is going to run into problems. those arms are way to heavy now and he used a little tiny hyme joint that looks like it belongs on a childs battery powered toy truck.
he went through more work than he neede to. i made my wristed arm and then plated the driverside to add strength and make it look the same. there is no reason to make them longer if you have a wristed arm and hyme joints. if you look at the photo of his arm next to the james duff arms you can see the diffrence in weight and the size of the hyme joint. no thanks ill stick with what i got goin. :finger:
