Just ordered two sets of TH length. Thanks for doing this for us Erik! We asked, you listened and made it happen, can't beat that kind of service.

So just a hair over 1 inch difference between the Bomber and Twin Hammers lengths. Thanks for putting that in here!

Will the stock length trailing arms be the best choice if you plan to run it in u4?

I dont have a shorter upper link option on the site. If you PM me, I can send an invoice though.

Sway bars are about 2 weeks out.

I already ordered the TH trailing arms and a pair of tierods off the website. Thank you for making these.

Got the TH trailing arms on. I think this is a great setup. Hope to try in the rocks tomorrow, spent the afternoon messing with it while watching some KOH.

Norby you beat me to it! That looks perfect though. I just got mine today but ended up working on another build until about an hour ago. I'll get these trailing arms installed on the F-Bomber tomorrow. It was kind of funny to see how short they are when I pulled them out of the package but from those pics it looks like I'll finally have the wheelbase I was looking for. Great job on these Erik.

Well, my UCFab Wraith length arms arrived today... but I'm totally bummed I didn't order the TH length.
Erik, are the TH arms going back into production soon?

If they do, I'm in for a third set as well. These things are great and the price is more than reasonable. Just for info sake this is a comparison shot of Yeti/Bomber length, Wraith length, and Twin Hammers length. To give you an idea of how they hold up, the Wraith length in the middle has been on 2 different rigs over the last 6-7 months and somewhere around 30-35 packs in nothing but rocks. The only thing I've done is replaced the rod ends once and these arms still slide like butter. I love when I find a part this good.

After ordering the Wraith length and then finding this thread, I installed a set of Th arms I had laying around... I haven't run it yet but it seems a winner.

I am not a scale guy at all but these TH arms really make that Bomber shine! Looks scale and looks like the performance increase will all be there.

I am making more TH arms now. Small batch again.

If youre interested in the arms, please get them now. We are about to run out again, and are going to be out of the ones we can modify so it could be a good while before they are back in stock.

MNorby, how did it perform on the rocks with the TH arms?

Went to try it out and the novak brushless system I had thrown in it is acting up. Probably order a HH puller pro BL system in the next week or so.

I ordered a set of the twin hammers Dlux fad trailing arms. I really like the way it looks and the reports on the way the shorter wheelbase crawls.. thanks to all for the information and Dlux for coming up with great products.
