Re: Trailing Arms on eBay

Look nice, but aren't the arms supposed to flex some. I read somewhere that you don't want them TOO stiff.

Re: Trailing Arms on eBay

I just used a set of Early Classic plates and took the time to completely weld them together. Took 'em to the sandblaster, then to the powder coater. I used a lot of wire and a bottle of gas to get them welded up and smoothed out tho. I never took any pics and now they're hidden under the truck. Nobody can see 'em or knows they're boxed but me and now you. I don't believe any of the flexing stories. The arms are there to keep the diff located and the suspension and track arm does the rest.
