    Spartan up front, no ARB. If you can't turn it it's bc it has a load on it. One hand on the tire to rock it a tad, and it turns like butta.


    Get the brass KP bushings from C & M...$70 :spy:



    I just LOVE the Chassis Unlimited Arms...actually had the guy these knuckles are for order them and return his ballsacktic ones. I am doing the double shear setup on these just like mine as well.


    And does the carpet match the drapes :D

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    This ^ mine turn very easy unless there is load on them. The key is to pack the hell out of them with grease.

    C&M Brass KP bushings are now $95 through their site :confused: I really dig the Chassis Unlimited arms! They are local to me so I went down and picked them up. The guy who runs it went to my high school, good dude.

    Price may have went up but that's still over $50 cheaper than from Solid. Just be sure to drill and tap a few holes in the top surface to make them easier to remove. That's the only difference between the two brands...

    Yeah Reids are about the same as Solids I guess. I'll have to order C&M's soon :D

    Just got a call from ECGS, I guess someone else ordered the used set of Yukon hubs about 5 hours before me. So I'm getting brand new ones for $300 :) Good enough!

    Hey, on your truck, in order to keep a straight panhard, did it have to be pretty far off center (towards the front of the truck) on the axle to clear at full bump? I'm curious because if I have to run my panhard that far off center, I might need to get a double hole hi-steer arm for the driver side so I have room to move the panhard forward. I'm trying to avoid messing with bending a panhard is all :)

    I know. Did you ever mock it up with the tie rod in the closer/shorter position?

    No bc it wasn't even a possibility with my ballistic cover.

    It's a tight fit, but everything clears lock to lock.

    Yeah but with the tie rod in a higher location, you might have cleared the diff cover, maybe? I know -Matt- on Pirate runs Ballistic arms and the dimensions are pretty similar to Chassis Unlimited arms but his tie rod is in the closer location. He did have to build a bent panhard though... All fingers point to swapping this single hole hi-steer arm for a double I guess :rolleyes:

    Polished? That's the way it came. :p




    I'm half tempted to just go with 37"s... ~$140 less per tire.
