longer control arms?

[ET]

does anyone know were i could get some longer control arms? i have the 2" lift spacers in the front but that pulled the axle back a little. I put the lift in to clear larger tires but with the axle back it didn't help. any sugestions will be appreciated. ps i talked to folks at Jackit but they were no help.

DT, the same company that make the adjustable trackbar, also makes longer control arms. When I spoke with them a while back they said they should push the axle far enough forward to compensate for 2" spacers. You might try to give them a call. I can dig up their number if you need it. BTW I think they were around $200-$250.

ET, Skyjacker (http://www.skyjacker.com) carries longer control arms for use with their lift kits and may have one that will work. Just installed their 4. 5" suspension lift and am favorably impressed with the quality of their parts.

Super lift has a patented "Y" trailing arm that attaches to the two front mounts and attaches to the bottom rear mount. They have grease fittings in each joint. Last I heard you couldn't buy them seperately. I've tried to get a local shop to copy these, but they have yet to install another one. I guess the kit costs a bundle.

Why would you convert a 4 link system to a 3 link? I've seen the SuperLift set-up & was not impressed. You just took a 'modern' front suspension back 25-35 years - look at the 66-77 Bronco's. Caster & pinion angle changes as the suspension is stroked.



Dick Cepek makes(made?) a system for the 1/2 tons that used much longer arms. Don't know if they make a version for the 3/4 tons. FabTech may also make a long arm kit.
