I'm surprised to see no replies after a few days.

Check out those, a little costly but I have no others to compare them to. Also a basic google search may come up with more options.

i did google and couldnt find ****! i found the JD ones a while back and I like theirs, will go with the dual shock mount from them to, now if i could just find rear dual shock mounts

You won't need a dual shock mount unless you're doing SERIOUS offroading. Otherwise you can get away with a really good quality shock. Depending on your plans, you can even do serious offroading with just a really good shock and still save money.

Skyjacker makes extended arms as well. I have been told they are the best. The arms aren't that hard to extend yourself if you've got some basic fab skills and tools.

I have the Super Runner extended radius arms on my 94 XLT and they haven't done me wrong yet. I got them from my local 4 Wheel Parts shop when I got my lift. I tried to see if I could get you a link for them, but they are not available online, so heres the number to 4 Wheels' wherehouse (877)474-4821. Its toll free. Hope this helps and good luck!

I heard skyjacker had them, but when I emailed and looked at their site, they told me no

but super runner didnt even cross my mind.

the dual shock thing was just a thought, cause had the money left over that would have been the next purchase.

Check out TRS Fab and Off-road. They still have them listed on their site but maybe they no longer sell them. Here's the link.

TRS Fab and Off-Road

I've seen a set or two go up for sale on the various forums but they are few and far between.

Ya know, for the $675 that they have the Skyjacker ones listed for, you could copy someones custom ones on here and have a maching shop build em for ya. I bet you'd come in under that price. Just a thought.

But ya, Superlift makes a set as well. Forgot about them.

Realy?! I've had my Super Lift Super Runner 5.5 lift for about 2 years now and besides wishing that I could afford a SAS, I love it! Everyone has their likes and dis-likes, but I am very satisfied with mine.The extended radius arms make all the difference. They also make a great steering kit thats worth checking out...http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/Superlift-Superunner-Steering-Kit.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=430&t_pt=4172&t_pl=9282

I will get pics up of the radius arms as soon as I can so you can check them out. They are pretty stout parts.

there dual shock mounts use different shocks than a stock x so if your not using there shocks you might want to find out what shocks will fit.its a eye design top and bottom.and man i forgot about tax time whhhoooooo hoooo new front gears

 

[SwaintaN]

was hoping to use my rc nitro shocks from my lift kit

 

[SwaintaN]

i looked at the pic again, maybe use the rear nitro shocks from RC on the front once that dual set up is on

^^^please, for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT BUY THAT STEERING! the geometry is the exact oppsosite of what a correct steering setup should be on a beamed truck.

you got me thinking Brandon, I've never take a close look at this superrunner but could you explain. I never liked the idea of shortening linkage on tie-rods.

I'm pretty sure the ultimate steering starts when your tie rods move at the same ratio as your beams right?
