I want to put cranked trailing arms on my 1989 rrc its had a 2" suspention lift. There are so many to choose from; light weight, heavy duty, double cranked anyone got any recomendations.
I also want to put castor corrected radius arms on at the same time so any advice about these would also help thanks.
 
have you lost self centering part of steering as caster correction arms or bushes will make prop angle worse ,which can be helped with double cardan prop,
 
Thinking about it i see exactly what you mean Landyman do you tihnk it is worth just keeping the radius arms as they are and just changing the trailing arms?

I want to change the trailing arms so i get better articulation.
As for radius arms i thought it would be better to put the caster back to what its ment to be but reading other posts i no longer think its worth it.

The primary purpose of double cranked trailing arms is to restore the angle that the arm sits in the bush at the chassis end so in theory, they can help with articulation. It is just simple geometry. However, in practice what happens is that the limiting factor just moves somewhere else...A bar to axle joint, tyres on inner wheel arch, heavy duty springs not compressing etc.

If you really want to fit them, and why not anyway, then the ones from Adrenalin 4x4 are superb quality and VFM.
