extended arms

[svdude]

Which ones I belive there are several different sets out there. From what iver heard the FLM ones are pretty good and very nice. However, I really like my stock plastic ones as they allow flex instead of bend, just my .02.

I would have to agree with larsenracing on that one. I used alloy uppers for a couple months and tore the top section off 2 bulkheads. There are only a couple alloy parts that are worth changing from the stock plastic.

diff cups
bulkheads
transmission case
chassis braces
hubs and carriers
(I'm sure I forgot something.....)

Some will not agree. But I base this on what I have seen myself and on forums.

yes i'll agree with these guys as well the stock ones will flex before snapping, with the alum ones they bend! not to mention replacing the stock ones costs next to nothing!! and keep in mind even though the aluminum parts look awsome they don't stay looking that way long as they get scratched and stuff and end up looking worse then the stock!! and its been said many times the stock ones are as strong as the others anyway, they hold up really well!! and then theres the weight they will add, it isnt a huge amount but it does make a difference...." the more weight the harder it is on your drivetrain and stuff!! just my 02.
