Hi there,
I have a 3.5" Lift from 2011. The rear arms and joints were recently replaced due to an insurance claim.. now I'm looking at the front and wanting to freshen it up. I'm not sure what joints to replace with now. Due to Canadian winters, these ones are pretty well seized in the arms and the arms themselves have seen better days due to wheeling. Do you sell a front only kit? What other recommendations would you have?

I would like to rebuild my control arm joints and need a little guidance on a parts list. What size joint is on the control arms in a 2.5 max travel kit? I see there are a few options for raceways, joint retainers, and retainer removal tools. Just want to make sure I buy the right parts.

Thanks!

It will be dependent upon what generation your Max Travel kit is. If you have front and rear lowers you'll need RK04034. One for each joint.

If your kit has front lowers and rear uppers, you'll need RK04034 for the front lowers, order 2. and you'll need RK00221 for the rear uppers, order 4.

As for needing a tool or frame side bushings, the easiest thing to do is to email photos to Adam.C@RockKrawler.com and I will help to determine what is needed. Our early style joints did not require a tool for disassembly but our newer style do.

Does this system allow for the front axle to be pushed forward(1-2") ?

3.5" X-Factor Long Arm 6" Stretch

If running coil springs, you can not push the axle forward without upsetting the relationship between the spring perch and the spring mount, unless you want to cut the mounts off and off set them. If running coilovers, you can push the axle 2 inches.

Thanks for the reply.

What about going from a 3.5" x factor coil spring to 5.5 or 4.5" coils, would we run into any problems front and rear axles? Would u need to make any adjustments on the control arms?
