  • rustys long arms.

    Gotta get rid of these. arms are in good shape but either need the joints to be welded (or replaced). The crossmember is in great shape. but has typical rustys powdercoating peeling off so its gettin a little rusty.(coincidence with the brand? I think so). If i get time ill take it to work and sandblast it. Comes with all brackets and bolts and I have new bushings for the upper joints. Def a good crossmember for anyone wanting to make their own set of arms or just replace the arms. I drove on the arms for 8 months without a problem, just got a little clunky cause of the joints. ill get pics when i can. they are in the back of the jeep which has a foot of snow on it. Crossmember new is 370. whole kit is around 800. Ill start at 300. make me an offer.

    arms



    crossmember


    upper joint. bushings are good on both upper and lower

    frame brackets



    under further review, all bushings are in good shape, its just the joints that need to be welded or replaced. and i still havent washed anything so they have some RC mud and crud on them. as well as typical scrapes from wheeling

        they are for a 4.5" lift, you can prob adjust them in enough for 3". andrew get a pic if you can of how much adjustment is left

                thinking about this, since the joints are kinda worn out, they would prob be less clunky if they were turned in more.

                    wow if that doesnt let you know how bad people on here hate rustys.....

                    300 bucks for a set of longarms and no one wants them..... amazing, really it is.

                    we may pick these up, buy some RE superflexy joints and cut the rustys stuff off.... hahaha
