Rancho radius arms on 6 inches of lift?

[racer1044]

Ok so here is the deal I can get a killer deal on some rancho radius arms from a friend of mine. Before anyone bashes on how they break I know i've read all about it. My question is am i going to run into any issues on putting them on my truck with a 6 inch skyjacker lift?

I planned to build a set of custom arms but time is not going to permit that right now. I can get there in a horse trade. Im just worried that the drop brackets for the radius arms aren't going to be long enough to compensate for the lift kit. Any info would be greatly apprechaited.

I doubt you'll have sufficient caster angle with those arms at 6" lift unless you built a very long drop bracket for them where they mount to the frame (which obviously would rob you of some clearance, not to mention invite problems with leverage if they aren't built wide enough).

I was thinking the same thing. It was too good to be true lol. Guess ill be spending the money on skyjackers. Anyone heard of the new design having issues?

I haven't heard of any myself. They look like pure beef.

I seem to recall one person posting something about a fitment issue, though I don't recall what the final outcome of it was (I've seen radius arms from several brands where a little bit of grinding was needed for it to fit around the D35 pinch bolt next to the diff for example).
