Wanting to add high clearance lower A arms to my 1000x 4. Curious to what set up everyone likes. I have been looking at the S3 Powersports lower A arms. Open to suggestions.

Stay away from L&W, I've seen 2 units recently with completely blown out bushings that had these arms.
I have L&W's and the one side wears out very quickly. But its at the Honda shop now and they told me the bushing in the front of the trailing arm is sloppy, so that is probably why I have had to replace the bushings in the radius rod arms. What I like about the L&W is they are solid aluminum, and have great clearance. My guess is I'll find some better bushings to put in them soon. The stock radius rod arms suck. You will dent and ding them up in 400 miles or so, assuming you ride on rough trails. Road riding, they'll last a long time.

I was referring to their lower control arms.for the front. Ive seen 2 recently that had the bushings blown out.

But every unit thats had their radius rods have been loose as hell too.

Not sure If your looking for front rear or both?
I have the SATV rears. So far they have been very nice and well built.
lifetime guarantee as well
