19" Long travel A-arms

Posted by: Knips178

I ordered long travel a-arms and couldn't mount them up with the Elka 19" long travel shocks I have. I called the reseller and they said the only a-arms that will fit 19" shocks are Roll design Long travel and ASR Extreme long travel. I gotta believe there are others that make long travel a-arms that will fit 19" shocks, but I need to know in a hurry because I'm sending these back and need to buy some pronto. Anyone KNOW, not guess, but KNOW what a-arms are going to fit these babies? Does anyone have some that will fit for sale?
I need to know asap

What brand are they? Usually when you buy long travels they tell you that you need 19 inch shocks. LSR, Herrmann, Gibson, Walsh, and Roll are a few companies they make long travel a-arms for 19 inch shocks.

the thing is there are now 2 kinds of long travel a-arms, a-arms that use the 19" shocks and are truely in my opinion long travel....now there are long travel a-arms that hold the 16" shocks (which may seem like standard travel but they use the long travel ball joints)

my guess is you got the 16" long travel a-arms

Roll Design, Walsh race craft, hermann, jrd, leager, lonestar, and many others offer long travel a-arms

if i were you i wouldnt go to that dealer anymore

Houser, LSR, ASR extreme long travel, eyeball engineering, I am sure there are more but I can't think of them.

How can they call them long travel when they really have no more travel in the shock than with stock arms?

yea it does seem pretty messed up huh

Posted by: Knips178

does anyone know where you can get long travel a-arm skid plates? If i'm going to invest this kind of money on a-arms, I want some protection! But you never see skid plates for anything other than stock arms.

Posted by: kicker696

as far as i know they don't make them, but they wouldn't be hard to make

Posted by: Dave400ex

I have never seen a-arm skids for aftermarket a-arms. You would about have to make your own, or custom order some.

Posted by: muff

I think their tough enough to take any abuse you can throw at them...unless its a big rock

( the burgard +2s didnt like that to much)

The LT arms for the 16" shocks don't have standard balljoints like standard arms use. So I'm guessing the LT arms allow a longer stroke with the shocks since the ball joint won't get in a bind as early in the travel as a standard balljoint. You might also have to specify to the shock builder that your using these type of arms too, they could then set the shock up for a longer stroke.

do they make long travels a-arms for the 300ex or no?

Posted by: kicker696

no, but you could use LT 400ex a-arms

I would think that saying it would handle like poop would be too generous..

I don't think it's an option for the 300ex.

Posted by: kicker696

yes it is, and it handles fine, we took my houser/axis LT setup and threw it on my friends 300ex for a day and it was awesome, a little stiff, but awesome, granted we used the shock mount mover

Posted by: JDiablo

and were can i get this shock mount thing,is there any welding needed,can you explain to me,thankz,and it handles fine you said?dat koo.and pix?

Posted by: norrisboat

now they have 20" shocks out. They are only available through pep for the trx though. I talked to Wayne(pep) and Tim Farr this weekend, about this subject.

Posted by: kicker696

do a search for the 300ex shock mount thing, there is no welding involved, unless u want there to be
