Just was talking with a friend this weekend that owns a general, wtached him snap a front axle on memorial weekend just above an idle, he runs a lift with arched arms, granted he was backing up, but he was venting to me about it, I asked him if he installed his steering stops... he looked at me like I knew his dirty little secret. What do ya know he got the drivers side in no problem, tried to fight the passenger side but gave up when it seemed to hard and figured they were over kill. Moral of the story, lift and arched arms need steering stops I believe

They do, I don't run them though, just be careful when turning tight corners!

You have arched superatv arms, and a lift?
Because that’s what Remington was asking about. Who wants a toy they have to be careful with, if that was the case I would have bought a Polaris

I’d agree but damn those things limit so much in the tight stuff. I ran them for a minute but got sick of the extra couple trips into reverse. Couldn’t roll around trees either. It was a huge difference

Getting bummed. Mouth is really starting to hurt. Tooth is getting abscess. May have to delay trip short of having tooth pulled. Started antibiotics today but it’s been bugging me for some time. Not sure if I can just ignore it. Calling dentist back tomorrow. Suck!

Off topic but I know many of my fellow HFA brethren have experience with this. SATV says with my forward arched arms and Put my lift back on they say that I need to get longer axles. Do I have to or is it just a suggestion?
That’s false! I’m gunning the HL 2.5” lift with SATV a arms and 30’s.. with fox shocks. I’m not impressed with the SATV rear axles. They get hot and I’ve had a ton of premature failures due to it. The fronts are fine, they run cool and I don’t use steering stops either. But the rear axles I’ve yet to figure out. Stock axles don’t over heat and do fine. But there’s something about the SATV’s... I’ve pulled the lift before and they still get hot. I’ve adjusted preload and done everything I could possibly think to do. But I’ve just had s*** luck with them. I have no choice but to run the lift with my tire setup. But I’m ok with that because it makes for a good ride with all the side wall and the foxes.

The addiction is real! Wife loaded the kids up this morning and driving to Michigan to pick up yxz seats for her wolverine. 400 miles each way but for $150 brand new and they match her buggy. So if you see my Cummins driving past you make sure to wave!
