Extended Control Arms

by **mikekey** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:33 am

Where are you guys getting the extended control arms? I can't seem to make heads or tails searching, other than the Massive adjustable control arms. Yet some of you seem to have had extended control arms before massive started making their product. I saw two mentions of Spohn, but no mention of the actual part. I'm planning on running 305/70/17's very soon in the future, so I'm thinking I'm going to want to extend the rear lower control arms.

There use to be another guy that was making them, he hasn't been around in a while. If I were getting a set now I would get the Massive set.

If you lengthen the lowers, you also need adjustable uppers or else your pinion angle will change and possibly damage the u-joints. Or cause driveshaft vibration.

Thanks Roadie. looks like my best option is going to be to plunk down some cash on the Massive set for uppers/lowers to avoid rubbing.
