Rubicon Express Long Arm Replacement?

Blackjack said:
You will have to add $500 to that for the rear uppers they did not include in the kit.

Do they sell those separately? I did not look closely, I just glanced at the webpage. For $1500 ifor a complete kit it seems that it might be worth it, but another $500 to complete the kit the balance shifts to finding replacement parts.

If you have any left over after helping @Temecula TJ , keep me in mind.

Yes they are separate and include upper arm mounts for the axle as well.

Let me know what you need and I will add it to the list to scrounge for.

Metalcloak routinely runs free shipping w/discount sales for the holidays. If anyone is wanting to buy from them that's the time, usually 10-20% off on top of the free shipping.

mrblaine, I see that you are very close to me here in riverside county. I'm guessing you might be able to recommend someone I can trust for fabrication, installation, and /or tuning.

Yes, we are very close if you are still in Temecula. Best I can do is have you swing by so I can take a peek and have a chat.

Ok here is what I have been able to round up so far:

2 small superflex builders kits
2 small superflex joints with threaded sleeve
4 small surpreride bushings
6 large superflex race kits
12 small superflex race kits
2 for sure used superflex center ball with the possibility of two more.
A small handful of adjusters and washers.

I also have 1 left hand thread rod end for track bar and a hardware kit for it.

Damn, Black. If I had known you had all those spare RE parts I would never have ripped out my long arm kit…

🙂

Seriously, this forum is full of good people. And you are certainly one of them.

That's great! I'd be inclined to take all the parts you have not knowing exactly what I need until I can tear it apart. Just PM me and let me know what you want for everything and we can arrange payment and shipping. Thanks again, I really appreciate your effort to help me out.

I’m in the same boat as well. I’ve had the RE long arm kit since 2004. What about Clayton arms? They look similar to the RE arms. They used to sell a set of arms specifically marketed as an upgrade for the RE arms.

Not sure if they do it still you would have to ask them. They probably stopped offering it after Metalcloak started offering theirs.
