Just got off the phone with van-steel...

to rebuild my trailing arm with 2" offset with jonny joints ... $1135.00 pair

anyone have a better deal for me? :-)

lvmyvt76

maybe the Johnny Joints make then higher??? But does he really need the Johnny Joints??

pauldana

Could be.. and maybe I’m wrong.. have been before, sure I will be again:-)

Anyway... I do not need rotors as I use 14” rotors/hats
No need for parking brake crap..leave that gutted..
And I already have the 30splin spendals....

I have a set of offset trailing arms, brand new. I believe they are from VBP. Also have the adjustable strut rod settup. This is all brand new stuff, never used. I have changed directions and will not be using this stuff. How about $450 for everything plus shipping from 85259?

doctorgene

Jrm5657---Wow what a buy, If they were stock, I would buy them in a minute. Lots of Luck finding any, more reasonable! The Doc.

doctorgene

What is the advantage of using off set trailing arms??? Why would I want them in lieu of stock ones??? Thank's

pauldana

Are they the Jonny joint or poly?

Also they have 2 different offset TA’s available ... do you know which one it is? Part number by chance? If it is the JJ and 2” offset you have a deal:-)

Bigger (wider) tires and wheels in the back

Having problems with the 5-6-7’s in the corners.. even track slicks do not give enough traction in the rear on a 10” rim... I can stuff a 12” under it after this

jrm5657

Here are some pics, I can't find any numbers and I have no idea what a Jonny joint is.

I got mine from this guy. Great job, no problems.

That's a friggin' smokin' deal......good on ya brother.

pauldana

Yes it is a very good deal, and if it had the jonny joints for even $75-100 more I would take him up on em... but I am going to hold out for the Jonny Joints... anyone else looking for this though.. yea, great deal:-)!

I thought the offset trailing arms were not needed anymore with the ability to put 18-19 in. wheels on.

The interference point with the bigger wheels is past the 2 in. offset and pretty much the same point on the trailing arm as the OEM trailing arm.

Sure when everyone was running 15 in. wheels the offset trailing arms were useful in getting a bigger tire under your car, however I managed to put a 295/50/15 tire on the stock trailing arms years ago.

It always came down to how close you come to the frame and the frame is something you don't want cut and weld for clearance.
