So you just lowered the hole 3 1/4"? and the bracket itself is only 1/2" lower? So you're not losing almost 3" of clearance compared to the old set up. Just wondering because 3" is a lot for some of us guys haha
Lower Arm Mount hole center line is 3/4" lower, and the entire bracket is 1/2" lower. I didn't want to give up more clearance but the 1/2" was worth the angle of the arms. It'll be covered in the next video once it stops raining on my weekends!
Thuren is a top tier company and I love their products :) IF my upper arms didn't have to be my own design, I would have ran Alien Arms without a doubt! But, once that rabbit hole starts of doing custom stuff, it snowballs quick!
@@iambecuzican oh 100% understand. Really liked how you did the engine skid too. I took my truck down to Dethloff to mock up a 3rd gen set up, we never did get it finished and he decided he was only going to do 4th and 5th gens. Which makes sense he's one guy. But I have two factory skid cross bars to use for now until I can custom fab something beefier. It will be better than landing on the trans pan lol. I can't wait to see your truck running. You have any plans to run Trail Hero or Full Size Invasion?
@@MegaCabCummins6 I'll eventually sell the mounts I used for my skids once the truck is running. That way anyone can weld up some beef without figuring it all out. Put them to use, show them off, etc. Once I do get skids from the Engine Oil pan to the fuel tank, I can be a little more careless on the trails and not worry about taking myself out :) I plan on taking this on as many trails as I can without destroying the body. So trails like Fordyce I'll need some more exterior armor for first!
I wish i had friends like this…
fully agreed with no "good" company offering a kit. they one known company I bought from in the past is a nightmare to deal with
I think that the entire internet would agree!
Progress!👌
You’re gonna change the game with those long arm brackets!🔥🔥🔥
I agree! Once the truck is running, I'll hire a welder to make them REALLY shine and compliment the trucks that people buy them for!

Nice work dude.... my alien mounts get the crap knocked out of them and they are holding up fine. Those are going to be bomb proof.
