I just received an email from Marlin from JBA because I need some new a-arms and he sent me an email giving LOST members a discount, so if you need some or want to upgrade now is a good time.

For LOST members only

$50.00 off 4.5 a-arms Coupon: LOST KJ 4.5

$25.00 off 3.5 remanufactured a-arms coupon: LOST KJ 3.5

Good from 08-07-09 to 08-31-09

So did you stay with the 3.5s or jump up to the 4.5s :lol:

See we do have some great vendors/ manufacturers who try and help us out. :wink:

I stuck with the 3.5 so I will have some money left in my account :lol:

But I would have to agree we do have a great bunch of vendors.

Hmmm...Getting ready to order new 4.5 A-arms next week. Just tried the promo code and got this message "The promotional code you entered is not valid."

I see they are showing them for 345.95 on sale without the code. Will the code take an additional $50 off? I don`t think so but just wanted to confirm.

Yes, the 4.5 are $300 and the 3.5 are $255 plus shipping

for $300 ThunderbirdJunkie can do that.

How difficult of an install is it? And it's kind of hard to spend $300 on something that's not necessarily essential.

shouldnt be too hard to do. Its not that hard if you really think about it, KJs have really crappy ball joints, and if you get JBA a-arms the ball joint is removable so it will only cost you about $60 if they go out again, the OEM ones you have to buy a whole new a-arm which will cost you about $250 each and they arent grease able JBA's are and they are also made for KJs with a lift, OEM isnt, I had the recall done back when I bought my KJ and 3 years later they went back out BAD and it has only been lifted half that time.

I might do this and get my long awaited Rancho's installed at the same time, but that's about $500 for both things. Mannnn. Maybe when I get a little more buffer room to spit out the cash. I can't tell how rough of a ride is with my stock struts, because I've never driven one with aftermarket ones.

I put in my OME/ranchos up front and can not believe how nice it rides. Unbelievable difference, and my factory suspension only had 33k miles on it.

Murphyman · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:27 am

I want you to know that you just might have cost me 85.95x2 plus shipping, depending on who else chimes in. Jerk

I am trying to think how many times people have stated that after arguing that they only have X number of miles on their KJ.

Its called upgrading for a reason :wink:

Now JMSMN you can now go out and teach others who are unknowing :lol:

Better be worth it. I was originally getting them anyways, because BDS doesn't have them, but the infamous ORTS went out of business without telling me :evil:

. But the Ranchos will work with the BDS top plate, correct? I've seen that combo a few times I beleive.

Guest · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:54 am

Yes, they will work.

Never seen somebody so hard against spending $200 on shocks :roll:
