In our continued push for the best possible vehicle dynamics on and off-road, Rubicon Express™ now offers a complete Extreme-Duty™ Radius Long Arm System and Extreme-Duty™ Radius Long Arm Option/upgrade for Jeep Wrangler TJ.

Imagine going from 28” stock tires up to huge 37” tires, and retaining or possibly improving factory handling. How about a suspension design that provides phenomenal off-road climbing ability without the negative effects of body squat or jacking. Now add a low center of gravity, resulting in an extremely capable vehicle that is stable in off-camber situations and comfortable on the trail. The Radius Long Arm Suspension for TJ Wrangler is the way! Borrowing many aspects of the engineering that went into of our JK Radius Arm Kits, the TJ Radius Long arm can give you all of the above and more.

Designed specifically for use with our 2.5” lift springs, this suspension will give clearance for 33” tires with no trimming whatsoever. Tires in the 35”-37” range can be fit with minimal fender and flare trimming, or by installing tube or high fender kits.

Rubicon Express, the original designer of the Radius Long Arm design for the front and rear of your TJ now offering a complete Extreme-Duty™ Radius Long Arm System. This system utilizes longer control arms to improve lifted suspension geometry, offers superior stability on and off road, reduced torque roll, and enhancing trail traction over standard short arm lift systems. Our Extreme-Duty™ Radius Long Arm System coupled with properly valved Rubicon Express shocks allows the TJ to transmit throttle input to the wheels over varied terrain, providing sure-footed traction and positive suspension feedback. Our TJ Extreme-Duty™ Long Arm suspension systems are the best performing and most technologically advanced systems on the market; and it only gets better with the NEW Extreme-Duty™ Radius Long Arm for the rear of your TJ. There is not a better long arm suspension system available for your TJ. The Rubicon Express Rear Radius Arm systems are available for ’97-’06 Jeep Wrangler TJ’s and can be ordered as a complete suspension system with Front and Rear Radius Long Arms, Stretch Rear Radius Long Arms, or Rear Radius Long Arm option for current Rubicon Express suspension systems.

These precision sized inner axle sleeves are designed to be slipped inside the front axle tubes and welded in place. This doubles the wall thickness of the axle tubes and provides the strength needed to survive larger tires and off-road use. Welding is required for installation of this kit.

Features:

  • 2″ x 1/4″ wall D.O.M. tubing
  • Machined outer surface for a nice, tight fit
  • Adds tons of strength to the front axle tubes.
  • No loss of ground clearance
  • Less chance of the housing twisting

They are now available for your Jeep JK, TJ, YJ, WJ, ZJ, XJ, & MJ Dana 30 axles.

Now, with the new All-Terrain Flat Fender Flares from Rugged Ridge you can add a bigger tire option for a true off road look. You can also use in combination with a suspension lift for maximum off road performance. These exciting new flares are out-of-the-box ready to turn your street Jeep into an off road machine. By removing your original flares and replacing them with these high clearance designs, you can run larger tires without interference from the flare. The ability to run a larger tire with little or no suspension lift means a “lower center of gravity” making your JK more stable, yet you still get greater ground clearance necessary for off road. With 1.5 inches less coverage in the front and 1 inch less in the rear these flares are slightly narrower than factory, yet still maintain proper tire coverage and aggressive looks. Constructed of a flexible UV treated high impact thermoplastic, these flares are designed for the trail and create a whole new look for your JK. Easy to install, these flares replace your factory flares, attaching to the factory mounting points with no drilling. Simply remove your original flares and add on the All Terrain flares. The kit also includes easy to install mounting brackets that allow you to relocate and use the existing factory side marker lights. The All Terrain Flat Fender Flare is the hottest looking, most functional Off Road Flare available for your JK! Finally, because no cutting or drilling is required, if you ever want to switch back to your original factory flares, there’s no problem!
