Title: Help! Look at pic...are these LT or standard travel arms?
Post by: Jimbo45 on February 12, 2015, 10:39:43 AM

I am considering buying some custom shocks, and need to know exactly what arms I have. They are SMC brand, I think they are + 1 arms, but not sure. Since those are stock shocks on there now and the ride height is about right, I am assuming these are not long travel but standard travel arms?  I would like to know exactly what I have so I can get my new shocks properly set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See pictures with and without shock wears if that helps. Keep in mind my wheels are offset an inch on each side, they are  3 : 2 offsets, so that may be why it looks wide. I have a set of standard stock a-arms I think they are, that I will do some careful measuring for a comparison. But I am unsure if the ones that I have in the parts box are actually stock arms, because they are chromed.

Look kinda standard to me, because of where the lower shock mount location & + by how the rims look. LT, the rims will be 4X1 & they will hide the spindle & ball joints.
If they were LTs, with those stock shocks, they probably would be sitting almost level & not as angled as they are.

Thanks Neil! That's what I was thinking.
