I've gotten conflicting reports. I would go with Parts Mike's but they don't have the proper angle built into the arm. I'm using TRE's, so Avalanche Eng won't work. Anybody used Roggy's or Tri-County's? Are they set up with the TRE mounting pad machined horizontally? Advice?

And let me be the frst to say, I know, it's not a fawkin 60.

get a hold of Ben W, moderator for the IH part of the board. He made some killer arms for me. Angle cut, for TRE's. He can set you up with rods and TRE's as well. As well as drill the knuckle.


not to mention he's a cool guy <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Just got off the phone with Tri-County, they want 300 for two arms and hardware. Ouch!!!!

Mike wants $212 with hardware, but again no flat spot.

Can't get a hold of Roggy at his shop, do I have the number right? 626-9451?

Avalanche's web site says they now have arms that accept TREs.

Won't parts mike work with you to make something custom up? He made mine bent at 15 degrees so that my tierod would clear my springs. They're not flat but that doesn't matter very much for my application.

The arms I got from Bob Roggy are the bent arms (to clear my springs), the tre surface is "horizontal".

Ive done alot of searching and the best arms for the dana 44 that I have ever seen are the OTT raised steering arms the are perfectly horizontal for tre. , they are billet steel not bent as the rest of the raised arms are. Excellent quaility but costly at 310.00 for both w/ no mounting hardware but you get what you pay for? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I sure hate to steer anyone away from Roggy's shop, but if you cant get a hold of him, you could call Scott Arentz @ Extreme Gear, he had some steering arms with machined 13 degree angles at his shop. I have no idea how much though. (916)990-0419

Damn, no Roggy till next week I guess. He doesn't do the e-mail thing, huh?

i got a roggy arm. when i took my knuckle to get the holes drilled and tapped,,,the machinist grabbed up the steering arm and studied it carefully. he was like whoever built this is damn good. the one i have is a 1in stepped up arm. it was $145 shipped here to georgia,,,which is not bad.

well.. what i did was use the parts mike arms.. and it just rubbed the springs.. so i went to the machine shop and had them make a 1/4" spacer for under the arms.. cost 40 bucks for two of them.. raised it up just right.. works awesome.. last long time.. and all for $229 for arms and mounting hardware to doorstep.. plus the $40 bucks for spacers.. is still way cheaper than anything so far that i have seen..

Damn, the OTT's look nice for 220 a pair for non-raised ones. Does that include the hardware, Mr. Olson?
