Due to the thinness of the Jeep unibody, we've designed our long-arm kits to be completely bolt-on. Although it is possible to weld to the unibody, the longevity of the weld in questionable. The unibody is only 16 guage (.060 in.) and the heat of a weld stresses the thin metal. The weld may not crack but the unibody around it may. The unibody is welded from the factory, however, robot controlled welding is done complete with heat sensors creating welds much more exact than a human is capable of. Our bolt-on systems are not only more durable but are also much easier to install. Our clamped/sleeved mounting system uses 1”x3/16” thick tubes thru the unibody which creates a larger surface area that distributes any stress over a larger area than a weld-on installation. In addition, we use adjustable control arms that not only allow easy caster adjustment but also allow pivot points for flex further eliminating any stress on the unibody mounts.

The new Rusty's Off Road long travel suspension is going to be tough to keep up with. It takes you places other vehicles can't go. Over logs, big boulders or over just about anything in the trail or off the trail. With over 4 years of designing and testing, we have applied race technology that delivers articulation that keeps your tires on the ground, even over the most radical terrain.

As Seen On Trucks! TV The new radius style arms are completely adjustable, both the long lower as well as the upper link. Factory rubber control arm bushings are used in the Rusty's arms, this assures you no noise and no vibes transmitted through the uni-frame. The arms are constructed of 2 inch diameter D.O.M. tubing. This assures you that you will not damage these with any rocks or ledges.

The new radius style arms bolt to a completely new 3/16 thick steel, laser cut crossmember that is surrounded by Rusty's new frame reinforcements. The 3/16 laser cut reinforcement brackets are located both on the outside and the inside of the uni-frame. These bracket basically sandwich the uni-frame, tying the uni-frame and the new crossmember together. Doing this distributes the load over a much larger area of the uni-frame. This combination will assure you many years of wheeling without damage to your vehicles uni-frame. Our crossmember doesn't reduce any clearance and actually drops the t-case 1" to help prevent driveline binding. Our Transfer Case Skid Plate can be easily added for further protection and support.

Rusty's Long Arm Upgrade kit is designed for individuals who already have the amount of lift they need and simply want to upgrade their control arms to a long-arm set. Works with all brands of suspension kits.

For '87-'89 XJ Cherokees with the manual transmissions, most used a Peugot transmission. You will simply need to drill holes to match the Peugot using the mount as a template. When ordering, please indicate which tranmission you have in the 'Notes' section.
