super flex arm.

Post by passengerpete »

just been looking at the superior engineering super flex arms. the standard gq ride height one in particular. the web site was saying to use drop box's on drivers.side, question is if a vehicle was unable to run drop box's would the arm still work to the best of its ability ?

What height lift? I ran the standard lift arm on my GQ with a 4" lift, but ran them with drop boxes. If you run drop boxes, you can't just run one side, needs to be both.

Standard height arm works the same with or without drop boxes.
Superior Engineering are saying they can be used with drop boxes in a vehicle with a suspension lift, same as you would use drop boxes with the standard front arms.

thanks for that. that makes more sense sorry for the dumb questions, i found the wording confusing [see below]...

The standard super flex arm is designed to be fitted to drop boxes on the passenger side only, this gives you a massive amount more articulation without the extra stress on the bushes.

could be me misreading it.
as for my lift i don't know as its in a terrano, but bump stop to to diff is 80mm

Do your current arms sit level?

You should be fine with the standard lift arm then. Once you do a reasonable size lift, there is a noticable angle on the arms, which is part of the reason you run drop boxes or drop arms.
