Default 3" Long Arm?

I have a 3" Skyjacker lift now. I didn't want to go up to 5" cause I wanted to stay lower on the rocks and off camber situations. Is there a 3" long arm out there? Can any long arms be used on a 3", preferrably whithout cutting the lc bracket? - thanks

nope


even 5 inch would be tough to make a set of true long arms. 4-5 inches you could go to a lower long arm but without cutting fenders (which doesnt gain you anything because there isnt anything to cut in the front) to fit larger tires you can be running much bigger than a 33 anyway

Thank you. Do you know if they are any good? Do they screw together or something? Also, how would these compare to the double flex arms from SkyJacker? Those you can adjust some but not near as much as these.

I have no experience with them or any longer arms, I have swapped out the control arm bushings on 2 different trucks and I gotta tell you it sucks. those arms look aweful enticing... I will be doing something with my 2005 arms at some point. not sure if it'll be an arm swap or just bushings. eitherway, it's gonna suck.

I could have posted that.

You said long arms not longer arms.

I ran 5" lift kit arms on my 3" kit for a long time. gained some room for bigger tires as well

The Topgunzshould ride smoother than the hiem joints on the double flex. They still have real bushings in the ends. That is my thoughts anyway...
