i have the trailing arms and i like them a lot. i also have the frame sliders and they work well in keeping the frame years from getting bent up. http://www.expeditionexchange.com/hoshos/frameslider.jpg Ho Chung | ||

FWIW YMMV BLA BLA BLA Trailing arms: It is my personal opinion that Rockware makes great stuff and I would not hesitate to recommend/buy their products, but FWIW I prefer the Rover Tracks trailing arms for the following reasons. 1. Rover Tracks trailing arms are made of 100% new material where some of the other trailing arms use the stock Rover trailing arm and add some DOM tube. 2. The shape of the Rover Tracks trailing arm gives it more clearance and raises them up compared to straight trailing arms, I believe that the shape of the rover tracks arms help to correct the pinion angle of a lifted rover. They are both great products, I just like the little extras that rover tracks designed in and the fact that they use all new materials on the trailing arms. Frame Sliders: I run the frame slider on my D90 and I really like them, they are a well thought out design and work great. Have a happy and safe holiday | ||

There is another way of judging a trailing arm or locating an oil leak for that matter...http://www.expeditionexchange.com/hoshos/ROLLEDROVER.jpg EDDIE | ||

Any thoughts on Rovertym trailing arms? | ||

I have had both Rockware and Rovertym trailing arms. My thoughts are that both are very good, but I have to give the edge to Rovertym. They are stouter, give a better sliding surface should you scrape them, and their length is adjustable. | ||

OK, pardon my stupidity, but I obviously killed WAY too many brain cells x-mas eve - where are those frame sliders on expeditionexchange that Ho and Peter speak of? I see the door sill sliders, but no frame sliders....duh.... | ||

I am running RoverTracks trailing arms also and the design is great. The bend is at the axle end wich allows for less angle from the (ear) to the axle and less rock dragging. | ||

well now that i read up on the rovertym's... i do believe although the box/bearing design is much more expensive... its extremely superior... check it out... and i will start saving... | ||

"There is another way of judging a trailing arm or locating an oil leak for that matter..." Shees! You Utah boys are starting to make me nervous. Man that’s ugly....I hope everybody walked away on that one. | ||

Haven't used them. But I am using RoverTym rear trailing links and they are great and very sturdy. They are also adjustable to properly adjust your pinion angle according to your lift. Tarek |
