Those are cute:D

Search wristed radius arms. You could always make yourself one, and if you hate it in two months, then have the ones with more bling made for you.

yeah the wristed arms are going to work for my aplication. i am doing an SAS on a ford explorer and the arms are going to be at 15 degrees instead of virtually parrallel with the ground so i was going to have the caster built into the arm.

I could build you a set but I can't start untill July 14th (at the earliest I would not know for sure untill it gets closer but no later than July 21st). Are you doing the swap yourself or are you taking it to a shop to get it done?

i am doing everything myself except for these arms, i have never actually seen a set in person and i would rather spend the money to have a good set professionally made. have you ever made a set of these before? you have pics of your work?

What axle are you planning to use? Use BCBroncos kit and wrist the housing, pretty trick deal if you have an EB or 78-79 F150 Bronco 44.

that wont work either i am doing an sas on 95+ ford explorer and the frame doesnt have much bend in it up front so the arms will have to have alot of caster built into them or i will have to have some serious 7"+ drop brackets.

What fun is a trail rig if it doesn't handle like a shopping cart:flipoff2:

How about this idea, When you weld on the C's on the axle, weld them at the proper degree :p

What if he's not movin the C's???:rolleyes:
I didn't

Of course I run 7 degree c-bushings, and only have 1 degree of positive caster:D But who cares, when I did drive it, it drove straight, and stable. Caster is for sissies:flipoff2:
