Does the wraith length rear drive shaft work with the twin hammer length trail arms or do you need to do something custom similar to the rear upper link rod ends?

I used 2 short female driveshaft pieces that are included in the spare parts. Basically the same as front shaft now.

I have 0 standard length yeti/bomber arms I have 1 Twin Hamer length arm I have 3 Wraith length arms After these are gone, they will be out of stock for a good, long, long time, maybe even forever. Fair warning, get them while you can. |

Decided I'm going to machine my Yeti length trailing arms to Wraith length. I'll keep cutting them shorter if I need to 7075 is really nice to machine!

Ordered! Thanks for the heads up Erik. I've been meaning to get another set of Wraith length trailing arms for a future build and would've been upset if I missed out. It was also a good excuse to order a set of correct length Bomber rear upper links to go with my new G10 truss so I can get rid of the Jato ends on Qwiksilver. Why have you decided to stop making these trailing arms? They seem to be popular enough, to the point of selling out everytime you make a batch.

My Twin Hammers should be in the mailbox when I get home. Glad I got them before they were gone.

To put simply, these are not my product. They are UCfab's. I think it looks like I implied that the Bomber/Yeti version will be out of stock forever. Sorry if you thought this, I dont know if thats true. I was speaking of the custom length arms only. I doubt there will be any more custom. If youre looking for the standard Bomber/Yeti length, shoot UCfab a message to see when he might have them back in stock. | |

These twin peak length trailing arms are awesome and very well made, thanks for making them! With that said, and since DLux is out of stock, I noticed vanquish also sells twin peak trailing arms. Would those not work on the bomber? Is the connection type different? Just curious. I have my DLux version and I am very happy with them. |

I haven't installed my TH trail arms yet. What was the verdict on the rear upper link length? 103mm center eye to eye? I want to have some fabricated.

I made my uppers the same length eye to eye as the twin hammers trailing arms eye to eye

So what length rear upper links are people using with wraith TA's and currie axles? Wraith length upper links are to short. Pinion is pointing down. |

Get some jato or long rpm rod ends to make the wraith uppers work. You might have to cut a little off the rod ends to make it work.

You can use the stockers which are the right length or any Yeti length uppers. That's what I'm using. DLux and VP offer Ti versions and VP now has the stainless version too. Jato ends will break prematurely, they are a quick fix IMO until you can get the correct link.

I ordered the VP yeti links. My stock bomber rear upper links seemed to be perfect as far as pinion angle goes.
