Suspension suggestions
suggs:
what i have
3 inch lift with +5 shocks and dropped mounts, dislocation cones ajustable A-frame joint, front and rear corrected arms polybushed and extended hoses.
works very very well. all came from Bullfrog a forum member..
does stuff like this
cheers
boss:
i hear the qt arms break!

Hi
I've got Scorpion Racing +2 progressive springs, +2 de-carbon shocks, dislocation cones all round -2 turrets, -2 rear shock mounts +4 brake lines, front and rear QT arms, polybushes (not on the shocks!!!), extended bump stops, not the cheapest but very good in my opinion, but to be honest I wish I had Sugg's shocker and A frame set up set up.
Good luck

Your not the only one, though I've only ever heard of them breaking/bending during competative use, plus IIRC they have recently re designed them. Personally I preffer the standard arms and moderate the suspension lift, rotaing the axle with cranked radius arms messes up the working angles of the propshaft UJs causing more problems and expense.

The point of the cranked arms is to pull the axle back in line after a suspension lift to try and fix the issue of working angles not mess them up.
The axle rotates in differing amounts dependant on the size of the lift, this added with the fact the vehicle is now higher (causing a tighter prop connection angle) is what kills the UJ's.
I didn't bother changing them on my 200 but did on the 300 The UJ's have lasted longer and the steering is more positive. To be honest as it's been said on here time and again, lift it, see how it feels, if you don't like it then change them.
