Thanks Man... I'll let you know, Supreme said they will straighten the radius arms for me on thier press, and they are pretty sure they have a used trailing arm, just have to take my old one in to make sure the front radius arm set up is the same on my old one... I'll head over there tomorow after work. gonna order my shock new.

radius arms are hollow. if you straighten them they will break. and if they dont they will break when you dont want them too. once bent they have lost all strength.

Hard to tell, thinking it could be hydraulic but if its the stock one then its a gasser.

No parts for ya dude, otherwise I'd send ya something if I had it.

Thanks man,

Getting the parts isn't going to be much of a hassle.. I work with a guy who I just found out gets parts wholesale (guess you need to when you run 9 sleds)

I priced out the radius arms at $63 USD a piece down south so I'll see what price he comes in at.... supreme was gonna press them straight for me, glad maxwell spoke up.... and I assume mine are different than his because all 4 of mine are the same...4 parts one part #....

nice to know. i have straightened mine twice now never had 1 break yet. iI replaced them with new ones in the last time but still kept the old ones for emergency like boggers situation.

not saying they will break. well maybe LOL. but have seen it happen on ones that were not even bent back to straight going down a groomed trail BAM.

anyways. another solution is to bend straight and sleeve with a larger diameter pipe
