Terrafirma HD Radius Arms
 

3 degree castor correcting arms. Finally, got them installed. No problems removing the originals; all the bolts came out without a fight. Thank You Rover Gods :D I did the swap in the back yard (no lift available) with the assistance of a couple jack stands, a floor jack, and a 2 gallon jug of water (it peaked at 97 degrees today, here in Philly):eek:.

The whole process took approximately three hours (that's counting the time to gather tools, setting the jack stands, removing/installing radius arms and water breaks). I was so ready to cut off bolts, heard horror stories of some members using a 4" cutoff wheel to remove frozen bolts.

Very pleased with the end result. I noticed an improved difference in the trucks drive-ability especially, on the highway. It tracks nice and straight, the steering wheel returns to center after completing a turn, and no more front end hop on the highway after running over potholes. It drives the way it did pre-lift. Actually, better.

Thumbs Up to Justin for doing me a solid by pressing-in the Poly's. Thanks, man!

Anyway here's the Bling Bling...

Why the different color bushings? Firmness? I've got to get a set of these, but with the increased size it appears it would hit the track rod within a few inches of articulation on the front.

I think those look great! I've considered getting those eventually, especially if I step up up the size of the lift down the road. Doesn't RTE Welding and Fab make some similar?

Not sure why different colors.

Pretty sure the track rod flexes w/ the articulating radius arm so, no interference. At least that's what I saw when i had each side up in the air w/ the jack yesterday.

While I haven't personally seen the RTE ones, it appears from their description they just crank the stock ones that you send them as a core.

"Front Radius Arms offset to match your Discovery II suspension lift. We can offset our in-house arm set and ship for minimum downtime of your truck. "


Haha yeah.... not sure why I made that comment, looking back I'm not sure why I didn't think of it. Track rod goes to the wheels, wheels go up and down...mystery solved.

It's early on a Sunday morning. Your head is probably still foggy from off-road adventure dreams. I'll let you slide...

Too much fishing at 4 this morning... and jealousy on the new arms.

Those look really cool. So how much money shipped with the bushings? How how is your lift?

Total shipped w/ pressed in Poly's (they do not come pressed-in - pay extra) cost approximately $675.

I am on a TF 2" medium duty.

I'm not sure it's worth paying extra to "press" in the poly bushings, at least based on the lucky8 video. ;)
