Cutter-Ups locating arms

Wild one · Mar 17, 2017

Well we got Robs locating arms on,and I have to say the truck is a lot nicer to drive now. We set the pinion angle at roughly 1.5 degrees down. Between Robs bars and Ryans relocation the brackets it's a night and day difference in how the truck hooks and launches now,it also goes absolutely straight now no more wanting to fishtail on a nitrous launch on street tires,gotta love that,lol. Hopefully a bit later Rob will post up pic's of the arms installed. BTW the weight difference between Robs arms and the stock arms,is just a wee bit,lol. We cut one of the stock bars in half and I was a bit shocked at how light the steel is on the stock arms,and it's not even a DOM quality bar. These are well worth the money.

Rick, how much are the bars? I have been seing ya post about them on fb.

They're about 1100 Canuck Gary,or about 50 bucks USD,lol. I think he's going to build them a bit lighter and they won't be as much money.This set is total overkill,way heavier then they probably need to be,especially after we cut the end off a stock arm,and discovered how light duty the factory arms are.This set he made out of 0.250" wall Dom tubing,and they're probably more suited to a D8 Cat,lol.Hopefully Rob will get around to posting pics later.

Rick truck is always a great truck to work on. Always so clean lol. We weighed the old stock arms and the new ones. Mine are heavier. But I would rather heavy then too light.

Interested in a set of these when everything's finalized. I'm waiting on my relocation brackets to be here any day now.
Thanks

Gary it was with-in spec at about 1 degree down. I wanted a bit more though to create a little more body separation,so we set the pinion angle at 1.5 with Robs arms

Rob those look awesome!!!! Really beefy...I am also interested in a set for my truck...I am not lowered nor run at the track. I also would like a heavy duty track bar that will clear the mag-hytec cover. :happy107:

Count me in also

These look great!

I'm pretty pleased with how the truck works now,between Robs arms and Ryans brackets,the truck hooks a lot better now. On street tires I would go up in tire smoke at anything under 25mph and spin all the way through 3rd,now it just barely hazes the rear tires ,as it hooks hard and doesn't want to go sideways anymore.

I have now just started making the one rear track bar for these trucks. the heavy one i was making is crazy over kill and doesn't clear the big covers. The bar i do make is 3 times the stock bar and adjustable as well. I have the parts on hand 90% of the time to build them.

Are you willing to powder coat ur bars a specific color from NIC/prismatic powders if I pay for the powder?

Are we correct in thinking you are not going to make a rear track bar for the 1500 Rams that is going to clear the big after market differential covers?
If so, your track bars are no different than your competition.

Wild one · Apr 2, 2017

Mark it's the overkill heavy duty bar that won't clear the aftermarket covers.The lighter version the one that Rob is still making is offset and I think clears all the aftermarket diff covers. If somebody does want the heavy duty version,i'll sell mine, it's overkill and a bit heavy for my application.I'm on a lightweight kick for the track these days,and want his lighter version,lol.

as it stands right now i am doing some r/d on the trac bars with a different bushing. and making it so the tube size i want to use will clear all covers. i not happy with the trac bar bushing life in the current bushing.

Booms · Apr 26, 2017

I'm interested in a set of these, stock length, to use with the Illicit no-cut brackets. How much shipped to Florida?

Hipps2000 · Apr 26, 2017

Rob... I am still interested in a set of rear upper and lower arms as well as a beefy track bar with the better bushings. Hoping you can get the Synergy bushings on there as well. Please post as soon as something is available!
