Radius arm crossmember

[danlong]

Has anyone used the radius arm crossmember from www.suicidedoors.com ? When I removed my driver side radius arm this weekend to replace the bushings, I found that a large chunk of my crossmember had broken all the way around the hole where the RA goes through. I need to replace the crossmember now, and am debating on a factory piece or using the one that Jason sells. I'm pretty sure that the Ranger and Explorer use the same onel, right? If anyone has used the custom one, are there any pro's or con's to it, aside from the extra ground clearance it gives?

there are a lot of people that use that crossmemnber over on RangerPowerSports.com .. Myself I have one that was made by altered images before they closed their shop..

If you aren't lowered more than 3" I wouldn't suggest it. with my truck bagged it made the radius arms flat like they should be in normal driving. Without it the radius arms would have a funky angle to them when I was at ride height..

Cool, thanks. I wound up just getting a stock one to replace mine, many of the guys over at RPS said you would probably lose some turning radius with wide wheels, and I didn't want that to happen.
