i have the rubicon express long arms. they haven't failed me yet. i need longer shocks to really see how much it can flex though, but i love them, they are beefy but quite pricey

Haha! I really want this setup I saw on RME.. I'll go find it! I just think its cool... its nothing like the other I've seen lol

I also have this dream of taking a 3x3 C channel and cutting out the bottom of the frame rail, and making the 3x3 open face down, then having the Heim and arm slide in the channel at full flex and be flush into the rail and tuck away, then drop out for full flex LOL, some Ideas...

Here it is! (complete build here - Rock monkey)

Bronco guys who use this type of radius arm often use a "wristed" radius arm to address the anti-sway issue and free up the suspension to flex. By triangulating the frame-side mounts I have freed it to flex, without reducing the strength of the arms by adding a joint. Trust me, it will work. Ask Cody.
