meaderaca9 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 hey guys. i was wondering what your opinions on extended j-arms are. i have a j-arm shee and the ball joints are shot. i was thinking about building custom a-arms and doin a conversion. building j-arms seem like the easier way out (no frame mods). I ride alot of pits and like jumping. im a light rider. around 120 lbs. will they be strong enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislide Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I sure as hell wouldnt trust home made j-arms lol, thats the last thing you want breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar Performance Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks for all of the comments guys. I always appreciate it! Anyways. I have been getting into the beefier arms. I was strictly doing drag and dune components, but with how many clients have contacted me in regards to doing heavy duty parts. I just couldnt keep saying no. So what ever you guys may need, just ask. I do offer a +2+1 Heavy duty J-arm setup. So when you are ready, just let me know. These are the uppers for a client I just finished. They are at the chromers now, but you get the idea. They are +2+1 and use my heavy duty ball joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meaderaca9 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 AZ how much would it run me for a +2+1 front end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 j-arm bikes are just as strong as the a-arm style. i have had many j bikes in the past even raced one in mx for about a year and duned the hell out of it i have had mostly denton j-arms with the warrior screw in ball joints. never had a problem and i like that they are alil lighter than the a-arm bikes. they didnt seem to be a nose heavy on jumps/.. those are nice looking arms stellar i would highly recomend using actual ball joints instead of hymes on them.. i have seen more hyme joint failures than any ,even stock, j-arms break.
