[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 563509, member: 1780"] I have a question. The guy I bought the LE wheels/tires from had a nice 900XP Ranger crew with the Outkast fabworx 3" integrated a arm lift kit, that included both front and back a arms, fronts were forward arched, rears just arched, all arms with 3" of lift integrated. I didn't look at them up close while I was there, just simply glanced his rig over, commended him on how well it looked, loaded my wheels and tires up and hit the road. Recently I text him asking about his lift, how much it was, if he broke an axle yet, etc. He went on to exclaim that he had dealt with bracket lifts before and broke axles, but since going to this integrated a arm lift, it is much better on the cv angles. Now this is what I couldn't understand. 3" of lift, no matter how it is obtained whether it be via 2-3" bracket lift or 3" lifted arched a arms, is still moving the hubs 3" lower, further away from the differential. Highlifter makes a 4" bracket lift, which is way too much imo anyways, so I doubt he was talking about that one. How could the a arms be any better than a bracket lift in terms of cv angles? Or does he just not understand how it works? The differential cv input is perpendicular to a vertical surface, same at the hub right? So if the hubs move 3" further down from their stock position, this is the exact same increased cv angle as a bracket lift, I would think. He didn't mention having aftermarket axles, so I assume he is running stock axles with the Outkast Fabworx lift. It's no big deal either way, I just want to know, because I couldn't wrap my head around that one. Here is the only photo he sent me of his rig.
