Hey which lower a arms we can see right now on the market
RPG has a lower a arms with dual suspension mount
Camburg has lower a arms with dual suspension mount
Both are stock lenght (-0+)
I want to know if those lower a arms are only made for a specific suspension brand or i can instal either fox, kings or icons at the front?

As well i have seen most of the duals are stock lenght, only a couple are long travel +2 wider than stock.
Brenthel and SDHQ and outlaw beside i have not heard of them too ofter around the forum.

Why anyone doesnt build at least +1 wider than stock a arms for a bit more of travel, because it will help to change the look of the narrow stance as well will help for better suspension travel.

IN MY OPINION, i dont like the stock stance of the ford raptor, 0 to -12 wheel offset will help, but it will fatigue suspension pivots at the front suspension.

So a stock lenght duals suspension a arms will not change ford raptor stance and add more travel to the front, but it will improve suspension damping for a better offroad driving.

Dual or stock lenght suspension sdhq

Are you KTM505?

Yeap, i posted this because i already bought +2 deaver leaf springs then, i will be upgrading the front suspension, but looking around nobody makes +1 at least lower a arms to wide the front a bit without getting more than -6 wheel offset. Because i want to make it look wider wiout affecting my pivot points of the suspension as -12 offset wheels does
Or do you think with duals suspension at the front i can go farther than -6 offset wheels?

Why don't you just go with one of the long travel kits ?
A +1 lca is still going to require longer uca, tie rods, cv shafts, etc.

Sticking the wheels out away from the hubs isn't going to help you out for durability.

You are asking questions with obvious answers again.
The way to make your truck look like it has a lt kit on it, is to put an lt kit on it.

yes, i want to go with +2 at the front, right now i m saving some money for that set up.

i was wondering if theres going to be kit like a +1 lowers a arms.

right now the ony thing i fixed was the leaf springs.

i have seen all your comments about what to do on the truck, now you guys are right, but beside the 3.0 suspension upgrade i want to change the look of the truck too by widening a bit the front and for sure i know too much offset is not the right thing to know as experienced is shown on my fathers raptor.

i know 3.0 suspension all the way with bump stop is the right thing to do, will improve a lot more, but will be remain with the same look from the factory.

+2 lower a arms will improve better than stock suspension and 3.0 suspension with stock lenght as well the look of the truck is much better.

as you can see in this truck, it has +2 lower a arms with a icons oem fit on the rear plus deaver leaf springs very simple

So what are you asking/saying here ?

Put a long travel kit on if that's what you want ?

If there was a wider control a arms like +1 or so, but i see i will have to wait and choose for the few out there with +2 lowers: brenthel outlaw amd sdhq.
Expensive but worthy

I'm confused why you just haven't contacted SDHQ, Outlaw, or Brenthel to see if they off a +1 A Arm kit? Seems like asking them would get your answer much quicker than trying to justify to us why you want a +1 A Arm kit when 99% of us will be perfectly happy with a +0mm offset wheel and not have any problems (yes, I realize that there is a potential for problems, but 99% of us won't run into those problems either).
