Many of us run a 1.25” tie rod with plenty of clearance at the arm. These arms had clearance issues in version 1.0. I’m one who switched from V1.0 to V2.0 after we provided the necessary info to Delta. Zero tie rod/leading arm interference now.
Are you 4” of lift?
No, not that high.
I'm probably 2-2.5" at most. 22" center of hub to flare in front, 22.5 or 23 center of hub to flare in the rear.
If I remember correctly stock cruisers are roughly 19.5-20" hub to flare.
That looks sweet!! Have any clearance issues?
Have enough orders for a batch of 4" arms yet? Or close to it?
I have a set of near new 4” arms with OEM bushings I will post for sale in classified here as soon as I get them in the 5L box if interested. Same day shipping after paid for when posted About 100 miles on them…. SOLD, ya done missed out.
5L arms on and the pavement test resulted in zero rear inner fender rubbing! No trimming required. Yet to try off-road but they seem to have plenty of clearance and some.
An attempt to save Dave 1000 questions if your familiar with the original 2.4.6 batch, When you look close the new arms posted on the new sets last few days, all come with the ABS bracket mount the pre 95/97 arms had(95-97 did not) Per Dave as of time this posted, the sides mounted on should not matter but for me to sleep at night I yanked and moved mine to the left per factory( had mounted other way here with no test on clearance)
Running 4” lift, 37” x 13.5”. Marlin Crawlers upgraded HD links here and no issues as of yet on clearance.

Nope none at all and no driveline vibes
Have you guys (or anyone else for that matter) considered making a "long arm" radius arm kit? With weld on brackets near the T-case x-member? It seems like a way to increase travel and improve suspension geometry without modifying much else.
I was just thinking it would be a step between 3-link and our current setup. If the cost doesn't make sense, I'll take your word for it.
I got my "3L" arms on today, to dark to take pics though.
Pulling out of the drive I could tell they did increased caster from the previous 2" emkieth brackets.
Steering is a bit more heavy & retuned to center faster.
I did overlay stock arm on top of the Delta arm with hitch pins to line them up.
Quick tape shows about approx. 35/8" of correction.
They defiantly have more room for the tie rod then my altered ground down stock set.
You can also tell they are longer. A quick tape was 37.2/37.25" which is 1" longer then stock.

I’m calling in to discuss paint quality discrepancies.
Isn't it normal for paint to flake off when you hit rocks with it? Am I missing something?
You are correct but I only take my rig to the local mall to shop for shoes and eat ice cream.
The curbs are tall at your ice cream shop...
I agree and I’ve spoken with the mall manager about accommodating my need for lower parking lot fixtures.

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
You would expect a higher quality finish for the price we paid for these. 
You say that like it’s a bad thing….I like ice cream…2 scoops please!!!
