Yeah I guess there isn't all that much load on them when they hit like that.

That was the post I was talking about. Thank you TJ, Ive made my decision. I dont think I will be cutting the pockets larger.

You then may get nasty dents in the tubes first time you flex it...

I only cut the fronts a little, you can check when you do your install. While having the front end airborne both wheels will droop to the max, then fit the new A arms, push UBJ in the spindle and see how much play you got....Cut pocket untill the arms no longer touch. And a little extra.

You may with RRO UCA's but my GENII JBA's UCA's did not after 4 years and 50,000miles(many,many hard wheeling miles also).

Hi nosnorb, have you managed to get the arms fitted yet?

nosnorb_808 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 10, 2009 1:58 pm

No I have not. I had military obligations this past weekend. I also need more tools & extensions etc....

Lancer · **Posted:** Mon Aug 10, 2009 4:50 pm

Yep - life and work always conspire to get in the way of our hobbies/interests

I seem to be buying tools as well - new torque wrench, heavy-duty axle stands, ramps and trolley jack - looking at my old ones I realized that I'd had them for years, and the car I had then was a fair bit lighter than the KJ! No way could I trust them to hold it up!

Look forward to hearing more when you do manage to get the job done. Good luck!

To each their own I guess, I could not leave it the way it was, didn't want my pretty new arms banging against the chassis..

I didn't cut my pockets (mainly because I had tjkj2002 and Rock Lizard install my lift and they didn't recommend it). It's rather annoying at first, but eventually the A-arm beats down the pocket and the noise disappears.....

tonycrd · **Posted:** Mon Aug 17, 2009 5:18 pm

So...any news?

nosnorb_808 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 17, 2009 6:39 pm

Nothing so far... I dont have the finances for tools or installation at the moment. I have to postpone the installation for awhile.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 17, 2009 9:23 pm

what tools are you missing?

nosnorb_808 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 18, 2009 8:19 pm

I need some extensions... The rear bolts are the only things holding me up. Once I get some extension I should be good. Finances are tight due to the fact that the wife & I dropped 1.5k on another AKC Boxer for our breeding program...

where can I get the top piece over the ball joint, i have jeepin by al upper control arms.

nosnorb_808 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 24, 2009 3:00 pm

I dont believe it will work with JBA arms. I could be wrong though. I got them with my RRO arms from RRO.

Lancer · **Posted:** Wed Sep 23, 2009 5:12 am

Hi nosnorb - any progress on fitting these?

candpliberty · **Posted:** Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:59 pm

I have the RRO Insane A Arms in hand with the RRO bump stops. I wondered about access to the zerk fittings but stops have a notch for greasing the BJ's.

Install will happen with in a week.

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Dec 08, 2009 11:05 pm

how long did it take to get them. Have heard of four or so that gave up waiting cause they didn't have them in stock and they went with the GREAT red arms! :wink:
