Agreed on that one.


10mm id love to see what your tape mesure looks like i mesured on the front arms rear bolt to the lowest point on a standred arm then mesured from the same point on my o r a arms and theres more like an inch (25mm ish) difference

Seeing as a jim with standred arms with a 2" suspension lift went more places i did due to geting stuck on a 4.5" lift both with the same size tyres

OK, I have just put a 100% stock 33,000 mile 2003 Jimny up on the ramp and compared one of our 4.5" arms against the inside of the passenger side arm, and the very lowest point of the arm is 16mm lower than the factory arm.

This is only the very bottom point of the arm which has a 4.5" radius on the bend and only protrudes that 16mm lower for a very small section of the tube, which we honestly believe really makes no odds at all to off-road performance as it is such a small curved section of the arm.

The design/materials & finish of our radius arms we believe is the strongest you will buy, these arms are built to take more of a beating than 99% of people will ever give them, they use all the same design principles and materials as we use on our race/challenge vehicles. Overall the strength, guarantee and design far outweigh the minimal amount of ground clearance lost in that tidy portion of the arms.
