Yeah and if you put both the extended chassis and setback arms that would be even better.

Rimo???

Those arms were in the Feb '06 issue of XRC (why do they print these mags so far ahead??). It will probably be Feb before you can get your hands on a set.

They print it ahead because if you don't subscribe, you can buy the magazine in February and thats when it will be out.

Does it affect the CVD when the suspension arms travel up and down? Wink

Due to the angle, I would THINK the CVD would fall out due to over extending easier, but no one has mentioned anything about that, and they have been around for almost 3 months now, so we would have heard about it if people were having any sort of CVD related problems when running setback arms.

Yeah, just like with a stock setup, as long as you inspect your truck before running it, you shouldn't have a problem.
