Why would you want snakes overpriced gear?
Its Castor angle is changed.. the diff set point is the same....
What are you trying to do Boxer? I've been down the road of a highly modified D1... I can probably answer your questions... :cool:

I have a pair of Snake Racing radius arms here for a Landcruiser.
One thing I notice with them is that they are cast iron. IMHO that is not as good as the original Land Rover radius arms.
IMHO, there is no appreciable problem with the stock Land Rover radius arms that Snake Racing radius arms will overcome apart from deflection of the chassis mount bushes.

Yeah, it'a all good, I'm just thinking out load here, as mentioned in previous posts the front wheels seem to be sitting further back in the arch now with the 2-inch lift and are scrubbing on the rear of the flares, there's tons of room up front. It just seems like I need to get it all forward by as little as a half an inch to get it all working right at this height. We did some filming for the 4WD Action DVD recently and showed how much the axels move in a radius arm vehicle as you lift it. Someone said that mine would only be 2mm or so, but I sware it's more.
Anyhow, it's no major rush as I'm gonna pull the heads off today, but any help/info is appreciated.
Interested to hear what you've done in the past too Tombie. If you got time to call a fellow South Aussie, my number is 0415 936 558
Cheers
