Anarchy Offroad Custom Long Arm Lift Kit for Dodge Pickup

[RHyland]

Yeah longer arms = smoother ride, more so when lifted.



My Jeep Grand Cherokee has long arms... the fronts are 36", rears are 46". Thing rides like a Caddy compared to my truck.

Exactly. Makes a world of difference. I run long arms on my Jeep Wrangler and the things rides 10 times better then stock. This truck with the Long Arms and the Bilstein Shocks will as well. Oo.

Actually I am only running a 4. 5 inch lift. You can really run these with any size of lift.

Show us these brackets that will allow that length arm with a relatively small lift. Oo.

How's this place. www.rockkrawler.com ? Go to the Dodge section. Seems their trailing arm mounts have to be moved too.

The kit Brandon showed me on what he was doing is an actual 4 link long arm kit not tied together like a ford radius arm where the upper is conected to the lower. He is using Johhny joints at the frame end for no lateral loading and minimal noise, dodge factory rubber bushings at the axle end for reduced noise and his bushing choices are super because up here heim joints, poly bushings,Rubicon joints and most all the others seem to rust and turn to junk after one winter around this salt crap. . This kit is going to be simliar to his true four link XJ and TJ kits that work really well and he sells a ton of around here. .

My price for the lift was around 760. 00 and his long arm brackets and arms are going to be around 900. 00 he estimated so it should be a good low price for a good quality setup...





As soon as he allows me I will snap some photo's for you Bob. I stopped in today and he had the arms welded up and was waiting on the brackets! I can't wait to be the first around here with this kit!

I think he is doing the older dodge next or the 05 ford he has there with a fabtech 6" that the guy that owns it paid him to air bag and change to Alcan springs and put Bilsteins all around because he didn't like the ride he got from that kit... .

I got some pictures I will post more when they are installed on the truck later this week.

I am a little skeptical on the strength of the brackets and the size of the tubing. I know the way I use my truck,they would not last.

With all the holes in those brackets, it looks like they will bolt up to something. Will they be bolted on or welded or both?

He is trying to get registered with this site but is having problems... but here is his response I asked him your questions:



Anyways response to BOB The arms are made from DOM tubing 1-1/4 OD 3/8 wall and are used in jeep comps and also on the jeep long arm kits he makes and are slid on all day, he will upgrade if you want to goto 2"od arms super heavy wall he says but the price is much more expensive and for most trucks driiving around the freeway, rock crawling to their potential, and compared to all the other lift kits available that you might buy these arms are of a way higher class than the conventional lift kit arm and way beefier than the stock arm.

He says hes not concerned with the strenght of the brackets compared to the stock brackets that were holding your old stock arms out of one piece 3/16 thin and these brackets have desert style standoff's to reinforce the holes and are also made of 1/4 thick high grade steel, laser cut, auto cad drawn, and welded by qualified welder. .



Second reply,



The brackets are intended to be bolt on for the do-it yourselfer with the option or recommendation of welding on for added strength, the holes if welded will act as plug weld holes as well if not bolted.

Both brackets utilize thru frame crush sleeve style helpers to avoid crushing frame and keeping brackets secure and in place. .

Explain "desert style standoffs". Can anybody provide pics/evidence that the 'weak' 3/16" factory brackets failed in any case other than a collision?

The stock brackets don't fail but they do tend to wallow out the 9/16 holes which cause the arm to jaunt and causes excess noise, weve seen it alot on the dodge and especially the jeeps we do alot of lifts for and that's one of the biggest problems they both have from the factory A desert racer trick is to weld chromoly standoffs outside the already existing hole to take a 1/4 inch thick plate steel and with 1/4 thick standoff you now have 1/2 of material to hold the bolt in place and not cause the hole to oblongate or bolt to become loose in it's place. It's done on about every race car that enters the baja 1000 or 500, works very well.

This is the kit I have on my truck. http://www.extremesuspensions.com/lift_kits_new/lift_index.htm The arms are 48 inches long and do not come close to touching thr rear shackle. That also sell just the arms. http://www.extremesuspensions.com/lift_kits_new/lift_index.htm

I spend way too much time off camber to sit that high... ... ... . I have a friend with that kit and his steering is not smooth at all,but I will say it has a good ride on the pavement. He is afraid to come out in the dunes and play with us guys that have more realistic height trucks.

I am curious how well your steering works.

I'm very familar with Baja and what you're talking about - just wasn't sure what you meant initially. I helped design/analysis parts for the Baldwin Racing Trophy trucks back in early '90s, also did some design work on the MacPherson trucks at the same time.

My arms have stock dodge rubber and a pivoting rubber bushing like a heim joint but these arms will be as quit as stock no POLY bushing.



I know his other concern was mounting the arms on seperate brackets he said cause he didn't want both arms pushing pulling the same bracket. These arms are fully greasable and sealed from the winters here in Utah and also will allow a proper allignment because there fully adjustable...



It should be sitting on the ground tonight and to the allignment shop tomorrow I'm gitty as school girl to get my truck back it looks so good. .



I'll get some pics of the finished product tomorrow for anyone interested.

He does alot of desert things as well their like race cars sand rails they just finished their first dual sport and it turned out way nice... They built an F-150 three seat race truck that turned out way killer to.

I'll tell him where your from I'm sure he knows the same people he's been building for years and this is my second car from him and I will always go there first.

I'm interested.

Well this should peak your interest... ... . I went and picked up the truck tonight. Oo. Holy Cow... You won't believe how nice this thing rides... ... It rides like a Caddy in the front end now and it is WAY quieter then when I left it...
