I have kept it around thinking that some day i may need it, but just haven't needed it yet.

Thanks friend but I'm not calculating anything. Im just going on the "if I can get it to fit" calculator

I have searched the hell out of pirate and there is not much in the way of rear radius arms and certainly not rear radius arms with 2 y's (at bothe sides of the axle). That means they dont work or it hasn't been tried successfully. From what I have read the problem with unwristed radius arms is that they are too stiff. Perhaps if the axle joints are soft enough and the arms long enough the binding tendancies can be minimized. I think a foot of travel will be plenty. yesterday I baught 4 of these Jeep Large Super Ride Bushing Kit :: Bushings :: Suspension Joints :: Poly Performance Inc.

A few on pirate have spoken of their flexy nature. I also baught some 1 1/4 studs from balistic to weld to them for ease of adjustment and the potential to keep them untightened so they can twist. I will put these 4 rubber bushing things at the axle side of the radius and run the summit joint at the frame and at the base of the Y on each arm (I already baught 12 summit joints)

Part of me says run the oe suspension out back. if the radius fails I may do just that

I have seen one buggy that works well with radius arms all around and that is what they did. It is the rockware buggy that races in XRRA. The inherent binding eliminates the need for a sway bar which is cool.

I hope you are wrong

The last 2 nights I have neen tearing into the R&P and arb installs. I made a special stand. What a bitch. I'm a breath away from tossing both axles in the trailer and hauling them up to 4wheel parts to do the work for me.
