CAJUN BANSHEE Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 What are some dependable and good looking a arms for sand drags that wont break the bank. This will be on stock frame with 13.5 shaws. I did a quick search but didnt find much, so what do yall recommend? Thanks in advance. Quote
camatv Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 tims are good. ask for ball jpoints. not sure if metaltech still makes a-arms but they are nice too. used also? you'd be amazed at what some scratched up a-arms bead blasted and repowdercoated look like. Quote

I am starting to look for used, I just dont want to buy someone else"s problem. Keeping my eye out for a few partouts and wanted a name brand or two to look for. Thanks cam, Ill do some research on tims (although Ive never heard of them) Quote
jbooker82 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 I would stay away from anything with Heim Joints, even where the A arms mount to the frame. Quote

CAJUN BANSHEE Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Posted August 30, 2012 I know this should be asked in the drag forum but I'm not sure what a ARM set up to go with. (+2 forward or -1 or 2 in etc...) I guess what I'm asking is what do most stock frame draggers use? Quote
jbooker82 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 I would go with as far forward as you can. That way you have more weight on the front end. +1 in on the front forward is about like +0.5 in on the swing arm. Quote

Thanks bro, but gotta scratch the a arm setup being that I need new cases now since they won't pass a leak down test. It's only money right lol. I need a sugar mamma lol Quote
bebetekbanshee358 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 A good quality chromoly heim is better than a ball joint any Day of the week... Quote
