SEMA 2007 Rubicon Express Long Arm Kit Interview

This is a complete interview that I did with Scott Becker of Rubicon Express at the 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. In this video, Scott gives a detailed overview of their front and rear radius arm long arm kit and attempts to sell the idea of why they would purposefully design their kit to be "constrained" or have limited flex (by comparison to a 4-link setup) and why it is something that you would want.

[yerwrng]

@UAEtommy ...They are expensive But nothing special .Iaugh my ass off looking at a Dynatrac or Sams offroad site...$6,000 for a Dana 60 ...LOL

[UAEtommy]

Dynatrac are the best

well as far as tearing brackets apart, if thats what you mean. other systems can be engineered to allow travel that would exceed the capabilities of spring retention devices, shocks, and safe operating angles of u-joints, not to mention the stress on control arm mounting points, and weak factory hardware etc. bottom line, if you installed a kit that allowed you to break something every time you went out you would probly be unsatisfied.

If you want to go to Dana 60's, what is the best aftermarket axle company to go with if you use this kit? Currie? Dynatrac?

LOL Ron...In a nutshell, he said they are building what they feel is a perfect road/trail system vs. an all out flex daddy off roader.
