Hey guys, after looking in to a Skyjacker lift kit I noticed that a few years ago they changed their radius arm design from tube construction to a box construction. I kinda like the look of the older ones more and they can also be bought separately online for a bit less than the new radius arms that come in the kit. However, I'm not sure if the new design is actually improved or if they just changed it because it was easier or cheaper to manufacture. It would also be more convenient to just buy the whole kit at once. Does anyone have experience with either of these designs or any insight as to which would be a better route? I don't do any heavy duty wheeling but enjoy going out on trails and think the benefits of the extended arms would be worth it.
