ANyone used the Dana 60 Steering arms from Posion Spider Customs. I really like the Quality look. Just wondering if anyone has used these guys before?

Hey Paul, you might want to consider getting the double arm, running the draglink over on the front of the axle and running the tie-rod behind the axle along with a hydraulic ram. I think thats the setup I've decided on for my crawler as it keeps the ram, hydraulic lines, and tierod completely out of harms way. Just food for thought.

Andrew is that a steering arm or a propeller!!!!! LOL!!!! You're not going with an orbital valve????

[rockjeep44]

I am going full hydro but it'll still be nice to be able to mount the ram and tie-rod behind the axle.

Yeah Andrew I have been think about that as well. I haven't totally commited to a plan yet. It will definitly be BLINGING for sure though :D

Hey guys I have heard bad things about getting you steering arms powder coated because as the powder coating wears off, your steering arm gets looser and then leads to breakage and it will most likely happen whenever it is the absolute worst time it could happen... just food for thought..

So if I buy the double arem, mount it on the passenger side knuckle, take my single arm off, flip it to the back and bolt it to the drivers side knuckle facing back, I could just bolt my tie rod behind the front axle and run my hydro ram back there too out of the way?

[rockjeep44]

technically yes, if you can get the single arm holes to line up with whatever hole you are using on the double arm. I'd give it a try and if it doesn't work sell the single arm and ebay and buy another double arm from poison spider.

i'd recommend the poison spyder arms for the kingpin 60. I got the double on the passenger side and the single mounted backwards on the driver side so i have the tie rod behind the axle and x over steering. It is a very cool looking set up and it doesn't bind under full articulation like the other arms that are just flat. I had to grind off some of my arm to clear the 5" bs on my hummer beadlocks and i havent had a problem with them yet.
