And then?

The JSport uppers are super nice. Too bad they forgot to include the heim joints so I could install the f***ing things....

Ours had missing welds on one joint and werent powdercoated.

Mine came with heims, paint and were fully welded. Sounds like you guys got the Covid series arms.... 😆

Not understanding the "test fit" deal with the SATV arms at all. You guys either based them off stock dimensions or you didn't. How do you not know what you designed and manufactured?????

And this ladies and gentlemen is one of the reasons why I don't buy SATV parts.

Their 4+ link arm is normally only sold with the lower arched trailing arm, so im assuming they only know it'll fit when used in that scenario.

If the arched trailing arms are the same length as stock from joint to joint, how it's sold is irrelevant. If they changed the length of either or both arms the rest of the suspension geometry is now out the window. Parts are designed on computers these days and the people designing them know exactly what the stock vs their product dimensions are. There is no excuse for not knowing if it will work or not.

Oh I'm sure it'll bolt up! The website guys will just never allow it to be sold separately on the website until we have positive fitment with other stock components...pics, instructions...etc. It was designed along side the trailing arms, so at the try-on...that's what we had installed.

Got the SATV arms in Tuesday. JSport heims came in this evening. Going to tear it down this weekend and get some measurements and pictures for everyone.

The @SuperATV uppers are beefy as f*** and come with steel braided brake lines to replace the stock steel lines that mount to the stock arms. The JSportSXS are higher quality, but depending on the price point SATV lists these for, it’d be hard to beat.

@SuperATV upper links bolt right up and maintain the factory settings. A lot beefier than the weak stock units. Hopefully they will list them for sale separately from the trailing arms. The included braided steel lines and mounts make installing them super easy. Put about 9 hours of ride time on them yesterday without issue.
