| Which ones do you like better? Racer tech Zbroz Highlifter LTI other I am liking the LTI because they do away with the heims on bottom and use a bearing that you can replace, I still have no idea how they will hold up in the real word. Just trying to get all my ducks in a row. Any thoughts? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

I would imagine that the heim joints would be better in the long run. | |

| The threaded heims are your weakest point and will break---maybe you can get stronger threaded heims but we know that the Zbroz heims break....But I really dont know..thats why i'm asking you guys because i dont want to go down they same road I did with the 08 buying parts and "upgrades" that turned out to be nothing but a waste of money...... |

| I have the Racer Tech radius rods on mine. They are tough but I have already bent the lower two. I bought the Highlifter lower rods like Archie did. I think they will hold up better than the Zbros and give more clearance than the Racer Tech. (I will still run the Racer Tech upper radius rods)
Tony's Toys radius arms list for $650!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| Most every one of the aftermarkets one have already been proven not to be unbend able, id go with the cheapest since chances are its something your going to be replacing a lot. | |

Don't forget, Buck has already broken two, left and right, of the Zbros radius rods. I was there when he broke the first one and he wasn't riding very hard at all when it broke. | |

| If regular guys are trashing them on regular trails, Jerrzr better order a couple dozen to get him thru a riding season, best stack them like cord wood behind his house | |

| Actually, I did run out of beer for the first time. It was probably a good thing, but it won't happen again. | |

Go to Brimstone or Windrock and test them out in the Rocks. Then you will find out if there any good.... | |
