Question RC Long Arm Kit for NP242
Hey does anyone know if there is a way to modify the Long Arm by Rough Country to take a NP242? I wanted to just get the upgrade kit but i know it is only made for the NP231. Thanks

Does anyone know if the 231 mounts to the support like the 242? I figured the only thing that would be different is the skid plate.

231 is alnost identical only the housing hangs a little lower. i am 98% possitive all you would have to do it modify skid. this is the difference between JCRS skids
