I can see what you mean about reducing the ground clearance Reaper, I'm new to 4x4's but even a quick look at those pictures I can see the front of the radius arm is hanging down ready to stop you and the first big rock you come across

Do you know if rhinordys arms are castor corrected.

Sorry to jump in guys. When doing a 3inch lift can you get away with just front arms or do you need all 4? Bit confused by it all lol. The mounts for radius arms look flimsy without drilling more holes in them lol

Front is mainly for getting your steering geometry back but idealy the back do need it to as the axle is still in the wrong place
.
I have a 4" lift with ora cc front arms . . . Couldn't afford backs aswell so used the cc bushes that were in the front ,
I think this is ok as the rear isnt as reliant on a correctly placed axle as the front

I've just got my Jim back on the road with 30" tyres 4" suspension and 2" body lift and all I've done is fit jimny bits correction bushes in the front arms. I was very happy with the drive of it, I went green laning on Sunday which involved two hours driving each way on roads before the good stuff. Ideally castor correction arms are better I know, but if your on a budget then the bushes are a good compromise.
