ULTIMATE Dana 60 High Steer Arms!!!

[Artec]

We've had a lot of people ask lately what to torque everything to when tightening the arms down. There isn't an exact torque spec but I'd say 80-100 ft/lbs on the nuts for the studs. The spring elimination set screw is tightened based on feel. You should be able to move the knuckle back and forth by hand but with some resistance. You don't want it to be sloppy and moving very freely or really hard to move back and forth either.

Wow, that last batch was our largest yet and its already almost gone. We already have another batch machining and this time we decided to double the amount of arms from the last one. Thanks for making these so popular.

Get the strongest arms on the market and stop worrying about your high steer arms and knuckles forever!

Lots in stock, READY TO SHIP!

Some manufacturer's give a lbs resistance recommended. I use a fish weighing hook when I set this kind of thing up (but I'm a redneck so...) Can you tell me how many pound's you'd recommend by this method? Let me know when you get back from Walmart from buying that scale

Here is the one scale I use:

What is wrong with a torque wrench?

Thanks for all the high steer arm orders. Here's a cool screenshot of our arms, our ram mount and truss and some new brackets we're cooking up.

[Artec]

We got a little low but just finished another big batch. Good timing b/c a bunch of people have ordered these recently. Plenty in stock and ready to ship same or next day.

[Artec]

We've been shipping out bunches of these lately. Thanks for the orders. We know its not the cheapest arms around but they are the BEST. That's why we call the ULTIMATE!

Theres a really good reason we don't drill the hole location that is directly over the stock location ahead of time. Every knuckle from the factory has a variation of where that location is on the knuckle. We've seen even on the same axle hole locations that vary up to 1/8". While that might not seem much, in steering, things should be very precise to reduce wear and wallowing out.

Additionally, you need to drill out your knuckles too, and depending on if you drill them out at the precise angle to match to our premade hole, it probably won't fit.

Its why every arm needs to be made to fit the knuckle its attaching to. We know it is more work, but its worth it to never have to worry about your high steer arms sheering studs, breaking knuckles, shearing heim bolts, etc. Its a proven system but it just requires a little more work.

For Reid Racing knuckles whose tolerance on the location is extremely precise, we have that location and can provide that hole drilling.

That said, what knuckles do you have?

What about solid knuckles? do you know if their holes are accurate enough for you to pre drill the hole? Also are arms made for the solid knuckles left flat around the stud holes so bolts can be used like solids arms do?

Thanks,

Chad

They are probably accurate enough but I don't have their hole location so predrilling them wouldn't be available. If you have access to a drill press, it's not too difficult. Here is a link to an install thread that'll help. /forum/general-4x4-discussion/987968-product-review-install-artec-ultimate-d60-high-steer-arms.html

They do have a tapered hole currently (the next batch won't) but I have lots of customers that use a washer and gr8 bolts for them just fine.

Dont' forget the pirate4x4 discount. Simply type pirate4x4 in the coupon code section and save 10%. It doesn't apply to ON SALE items but there are only a few of those.

One last set of high steer arms left. Material arrives tomorrow and hopefully we'll be stocked up again by end of next week.

Maybe I should run a deal for those who purchase arms between now and the end of next week and are willing to wait until they're done. Wudduya think?

[Artec]

I'm willing to offer an extra deal for those who are willing to wait until this batch finishes up, but I will only offer it today(8/24) and tomorrow (8/25) because we should be finishing up by Friday or Monday at the very latest. Give me a call to take advantage of this deal. 520-906-9977 Nate

thanks for the help

[Artec]

No problem. Thanks for the order.

[kidkrawler]

I will call in the morning or call me, I want to hear about this deal. In the market and am leaning towards your arms.

PM Sent!!

[Artec]

High Steer arm orders are almost off the charts today. Thanks for the orders. We're going to run another batch directly after the one finishing up tomorrow.

[Artec]

WOW! We tripled our single day record of high steer arms today! Of the batch finishing up tomorrow, I think we only have about 4 sets remaining. I guess we're going to be seeing alot of our arms in build threads soon.

[Artec]

WHEW, THINGS ARMS ARE STILL HOT FROM LAST WEEK! Thanks for all the orders. Our current batch has only 2 pairs left and they just finished minutes ago. Good thing we're starting another batch tomorrow.

[Artec]

Our new batch is finishing up in the next two days. This should hold us over for a couple weeks

[Artec]

Lots in stock and ready to ship out immediately. Don't forget the pirate4x4 coupon code when checking out.

[Artec]

Ultimate for a reason!

[Artec]

Lots of these arms are going with trusses lately. Must be the 20% off kit pricing we are offering when you buy them together.
