Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
Well, here's the trailing arm x-member I was alluding to in a previous post. I went ahead and made the height of the front mount adjustable from stock height, to 2" raised from stock height.
I will be offering a "special" on these items. 2" Dropmember Trailing Arms and trailing arm x-member $699. If anybody has already purchased a trailing arm x-member and wants to update to the new version AND purchase the arms, get with me and I will do an exchange on the non-adjustable version... that way it's the latest and greatest. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
Nice!, this will make Project 50th look and handle that much better!.. I guess I will have to move my CPP cross member over to the shortwide project.

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
You do not "Have" to use this crossmember with the arms. A factory version, or aftermarket replacement will work just fine. The adjustable unit allows the front pivots to be raised in conjunction with the rear.

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
Nice design improvements BTW..... I'm glad some vendors actually listen to the consumer & consider their input when creating products

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
Those rock! How much for just the trailing arms? Nate, would it ruin the integrity of the arms if you just welded a bracket on to accept the super track bar? I guess you've gone this far, you might as well offer one of those too......

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
A welded bracket would work just fine. I will be offering more pieces to the puzzle as time goes on! We will be offering a complete kit including bolt-in notch, panhard bar, and shock relocation brackets.

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
Very nice looking work! Just curious, what is the major benefit of dropped trailing arms?

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms
Have you ever seen a "nice" Watts link. To date I have yet to see one that looked good. Functional, but ugly at best.

Re: 2" Drop Trailing arms

15" wheel guys should also see benefits because the u-bolt nuts are no longer under the bottom of the arm offering better scrub-line clearance. That's it right? Nope, still more.... Tubular arms offered before were more rigid in construction w/poly bushings. That's not necessarily optimum for a system that utilized the flex of the original I-beam construction & rubber bushings to limit bind (the more rigid construction of the tubular beam is good by itself; just not so good in this app as it will bind sooner). But, plug in a bushing that limits slop & offers better articulation & the tubular beam get's much better. The flex joint is also rebuildable & greaseable. These are similar to NASCAR arms but w/o the harshness of the mono-ball bushing which would wear quickly (much like a heim-joint) in a true 'street driven' environment.
