So after installing the 4" Long Arm drove beautifully!! Took it to Moab, had ablast second day out got some squeaking in the pivot links. And it got worse and worse, took it to the place that installed it and they told me it just the way a 4" Long Arm will sound. Well I HATE IT!! Going to Call Full Traction on Monday, but has anyone had any issues with their 4" Long Arm???

After hitting the trails hard and putting about 5k on it, I had some squeaking, and a couple of clunks. I thought I had banged it a little harder than first thought. Or maybe something was broken.

Took it to Screaming Lizard, they re-torqued and re-greased it.

Problem solved.

I do think there is a degree of settling in that should be anticipated. And rock climbing in hot dusty areas, combined with river crossings and going thru snow is gonna take it's toll.

But it's an easy maintenance issue. I was in the garage bay to see what all he did to check this and that, and hit the Zerks with the goo. I will do this in the future on my own as needed/if needed.

Keep us posted as to what FT says about it. But I think your shop should at least do what mine did to make sure all is well. They shouldn't just blow you off bc "It's a Long Arm"

Did the shop ever grease the zerks after installing the lift? I dont have the long arm, but I have the Ultimate. I am guessing the rod ends are the same, but maybe not.

Patrick @ Full Traction

B1GKountry I would recommend that you check to see if it is greased and tight. This should be done after the first 500 miles. You should also get into the habit of doing this after each time on the trail. If you still have problems with the squeek please give me a call. 800-255-6464

Patrick,

Thanks for the quick response. Hopefully you got the files okay!

Guys, thanks for replies! I just got my JK back from the shop sounding worse than it was when I dropped it off three days ago! They took the entire suspension off and regreased everything, well so they say. I will have to admit, I put my JK to the test in Moab, hitting 10 different trails in 5 days! It was intense, the JK never let me down squeaks or not!

Patrick @ Full Traction

It looks like the rear arms are installed upside down. I don't think that is the problem. Can you give me a call again?

There's also another post on the cage itself but it's part of the same build-up with the long - arm kit so I thought I'd post here as well:



A closer view of the same area:



Corner detail - looks like plenty of strength - just in case.



And here're the shots from this morning:
