Thuren 4-Link Upgrade Rear Control Arms

[el_barto]

Anyone running these on their Power Wagon yet? If so: How are they working out for you, and what other suspension mods do you have?

The axle hop the PW has is so bad. I think it’s a big hindrance to offroad performance not being able to throttle your way out of snow/low traction. And then it’s just obnoxious of the street when it’s slippery out.

It’s expensive, but if it works as well as they say, it fixes a big short coming of this platform.

My PW just has 35s and Fox 2.0 IFP shocks, no lift/level.

Interested. Unable to swing the funds at this time.

Metal Cloak has a 30% off all Ram suspension parts for May. The have their 4 rear arm replacements for $664.30 right now that should include their improved bushings

That metal cloak kit doesn’t change the geometry of the arms though. The geometry of the control arms is what causes the axle hop in these trucks, from what I understand

Kinda want.

Do they have the install instructions up anywhere? Any special tools needed?

They sent me the installs for the “Predator” kit which is the same but with different LCAs and shocks. Install looks fairly straight forward, but there are are a few holes to drill/ream; and the control arm bolts are to be torqued to 350 ft-lbs (!!!). So probably a special tool is a 3/4” torque wrench that can go that high.

Dayuuum, yeah, I don't have anything rated for that much torque. Better eat my spinach. Or cheesecake so I can just sit on a cheater bar, I guess.
