HMMMMM he built 2 sets of la's I wonder how many kits ironrock has built, I bet its more than 2.lolol
Chevy built a bunch of Corvairs but they were "unsafe at any speed"I wonder how many Ford Pintos Ford built?
Doesn't mean I'll drive one.
Except its a metric bolt which would be a class 8.8, 10.9, or 12.9, which are different from grades.
Rather than drilling out for a 7/16" bolt, why not get a class 12.9 10mm bolt? Tensile strength of a grade 8 bolt is 90,000 psi and a 12.9 10mm is 86,000. Increasing flex and decreasing binding seems like a win win to me. As far as TNT radius arms flexing better, that is simply not possible, radius arms bind. Doesn't matter who made them, how they made them, or how much they cost. Remove the passenger side upper on the trail (so you don't die when the 1 bolt everyone talks about failing breaks at speed) and wheel it. Now give an honest opinion about flex and ride quality.
The bind in a radius arm setup occurs when one wheel is down and the other up. The joints on some of them run out of flex and start to bind.ever see a radius arm setep bind enough to the point where that was the limiting factor in flex? more often than not its the shocks (or if they are smart, limit straps) that limit it.
on paper,yea they bind more, but i would take strength over a couple extra inches of useless flex regardless

I hope you cut off those stock LCA brackets. Oh, and is the only thing holding the entire crossmember/suspension to the frame the 3 stock TC case holes on each side? That's kinda scary.
Wasn't trying to imply that. Just posted for info purposes for those who are not familiar with radius arms and wonder why they bind.i'm not tarded'
the bushings that are used more than make up for the bind
