We are more than happy to irrigate you with our opinions but Dave at Delta is the guy to ask about arm choice. He can tell you about how he likes to run 7 plus deg of positive castor. I run their 6” arms with about 4.75” of front lift and liked the 5.6* of castor. Bigger tires like bigger...
Any loss of ground clearance, if any, has been inconsequential in my experience. Relocation of the axle forward and very significant improvements in on road handling characteristics make these arms fly off the shelf. As a side affect of their narrower cross section, the arms will deflect...
Going to 37’s almost always dictates enough lift that part time is the next move unless you have the skills to run a 3” lift and do a bang up fender modification job.
Dear Pell, Get up on those 37’s with your 4” arms and test it out before making a decision. If you do indeed need longer arms always go bigger. 5L. 6+ degrees relaxes the Toyota built in over steer.
I know Dave likes extra castor and so do I. I’m at about 50 lift and run their 6” arms. I think delta has 5” arms now. Not sure though as it’s been a while since I bought mine.
You’ve recappped all it is. The landcrusisr is of itself.
As stated above. I’m not inclined to compromise the strength of my suspension in the name of greater articulation.
Delta 6” arms with roughly 4.5-5” of lift. Obviously they take a beating and shrug it off. The extra castor angle (about 5.5 deg) plus the hydro assist makes her feel stable. More like slow and predictable.
I don’t know your lift height or your castor reading but 2* up pinion flange seems like it may be a bit low causing more than 1* of angle induced into the forward U-joint. Ideally, to run a DC shaft perfectly smooth, there should be zero angle/bend on the front joint. This means that the...
Let’s not quibble over semantics in the middle of a thread that has nothing to do with ice cream.
I posted the pic earlier today as testimony to the durability of these Delta 6” leading arms. V2.0 has served quietly in a position of grave danger.
