radius drop brackets




@#&$*!!

That I guarantee you is at least 98% of your problem. That's probably worse than my buddy's Ranger with a 6" Skyjacker lift was (his truck would've made you **** your pants it was so scary to drive). That linkage needs to be down flat so it can swing in phase with the suspension beams (like this):

Get the FA600 arm. You need that first before anything else. Then deal with the rest (yes, those radius drops should match the lift height. Maybe get an extended RA kit for it instead).

yea i knew it should be lower i think they gave me all the parts to the 3.5 kit and 5.5 springs.does the extended ra come with brackets or will i have to get the also?
 






who makes the best extended radius arms
?
 






If you buy the RA kit it will come with the brackets. 91Rockkrawler is selling his Superlift Extended RA's you might want to pm him
 






i have the 5.5 superlift and it looks like my radius drop brackets aren't dropped enough and is causing my pivot arms to look crooked.how much lower should the bracket drop it?i am getting a terrible clunk sound from the front and i know i need new bushing but even if i get new bushing it still looks like the drop brackets should be lower

You ever figure out what was wrong with this? I just put duff arms on and have the same problem. It's almost like the rad u s arm brackets should be lower on mine but then I would have to lower the trans cross memeber

I screwed mine out a bit also..you can loosen the 2 bolts and try to twist the pivot arms a bit also..ive been running it for year with no issues tho
 






Good to know will mess around with it when I get the fa600, thanks for the help
