I just stumbled onto a set of front upper and rear upper adjustable control arms and trac bar bracket kit new. So obviously I bought them. I was wondering if anyone had install instructions for the control arms? The rear seem to be offset to one side. Just curious if it mattered which way they were installed. The fronts and the trac bar kit still had the original paperwork with them.
I looked through those and did not see one for the control arms. Maybe its buried in another install guide?All the instructions are in the first post of this thread. I believe the control arm instructions are there as well.
Got a pic of the rear uppers? I do not recall them being offset.I just stumbled onto a set of front upper and rear upper adjustable control arms and trac bar bracket kit new.

Eric Wirkus is the name and he is MIA. There is a lengthy post over on ROF regarding Nth and the cult following of their products
Anyway back in Sept 2018 I did a google map search of the company and contacted a neighboring business.
They informed me the building was empty at that time.

Who even has the original designs? I would guess Eric, but he's dead as far as I can tell.
I would still love to find a complete Nth long arm kit!
I have the arms and can give the the brackets that were suppose to go on the frame. I'm sure you could get new ones cut from that. Just an idea? But this would be for a stock WB TJ.
If you really want this stuff we can work something out and I'll bring them to Moab next year.
Dave has a complete longarm kit or he did in Feb when I was talking to him.
That's cool! Let me think about this, as Moab is still a ways away, so there is time.
I didn't know Dave has a complete long arm kit. Did you see it laying around at his place @psrivats?
No him and I were talking about it.
Since mine was for a HP60 I don't have the stinger made for a Dana 44. So you would have to figure that stuff out also. And if I was keeping the Nth I would have had Dave install the JJ's to replace the gyro joints. Plus he said that there are ways around the Nth stinger.
If he does and wants to sell it I'm sure one of us from the PNW coming could bring for next year.
I had thought about keeping the Nth lower arms and doing triangulated uppers for the rear and them maybe going to a 3 link in the front by getting rid of the radius arms for the uppers. But that was before I decided I wanted to stretch my WB.
I know it wouldn't be a Nth kit anymore if you did all this but I do still like the dogleg lower arms even if they aren't as needed.
Looking at the way he builds his Jeep West suspension, it's very clear he's taken a lot of cues from the Nth long arm, which isn't a bad thing. For instance, he has the only bent lower arms I've ever seen aside from Nth. I actually really like Dave's setup a lot, I just don't like the fact that in order to get it, he has to build it and install it for you.
I'd be all in on it if he actually sold his setup online and allowed people to buy it and install it themselves.
Maybe I'll have to talk to Dave just to see. Who knows what he has in that shop of his
