Did they make 3.0 arms?

I didn't think so, but the ones that I sold, the guy is claiming they are 3.0 arms. Marlin only had the 3.5's before he upgraded the angle on the ball joint to the 4.5s...

I guess that is why he only sells ball joints for the 3.5s because the 3.0s don't exist.

I appreciate any and all feedback...

Keith

There were 3.0 arms
The 3.5s are remakes of the 3.0 but with a replaceable ball joint that bolts in, 3.0s were pressed in
After the 3.0s there were 4.0s then 5.0s , 5.0s were only made a very short time with 4.5s taking there place. If you had a set with bolt in ball joints then they are the 3.5s that are welded differently ( like the 4.5s ) 3.5s are not quite as long in the arms and have a little different angle I think on the end where the ball joint sits.
I think this is pretty much how it went, been a while :wink:

Just out of curiosity, were the ball joints on the 3.0's replaceable, even though they were pressed in?

Yeh, I noticed in the steel diff thread there seems to be some friction about you with JBA...........did something happen that you just can't get over and feel the need to place negative remarks everytime a JBA thread is posted?

And to the original poster, if you don't feel comfortable using the a-arms you have, then send them back to JBA and he will hook you up with the latest and greatest version for a small price.

JL has a problem with certain practices of JBA involving christian materials being sent unsolicited with their products

it bleeds over into his opinion of their products as if the two have anything to do with one another

and yes, it gets quite old and repetitive

I told you they were 3.0 and not 3.5 arms. Now do you see why im pissed about getting a much inferior product?
