09 m8 A-arms what do you like or have?

i tagged a tree the other day and the a-arms are a bit bent on the right side. i was just wondering what people have put on their sleds and what they thought about them. stock or aftermarket?

I had some holz arms on my m7 after bending a few sets of stockers. I didnt have much experience with them before it got ripped off, but i really did like the design. The only thing that bothered me about them is if you bent one side... you'd have to buy anotehr full set (i think) I was thinkin about some skids, or fastlane arms next time for my 09. I was thinking that maybe the X brace on the lower, might help out with how easy they twist... Either way, im not buying that the front ends of our M chassis are "tough". I tweaked the one side of my 09 second ride out this season. I have bent a few sets before, so i know how easy they bend, but was surprised to see mine lacking castor, and all the paint comming off at the welds... Let us know which way you decide

Dan is about 20 minutes away and has always helped me out. His customer service is top notch and he is a heck of a nice guy.

Had good luck with his 3 piece trailing arms

I'm going to buck up and get the A-arms someday

I have been having a problem with my lower a arms twisting. on my 2nd set and the sled is only 4 months old, was looking at the holz racing set but i am unsure about the upper arm only being a single tube has any body tried them out.

Ive got fastlanes and so far they have taken some pretty good hits. The x is a very strong design, however depending on snow conditions there can be some build up on top of the x. I'd be interested to see the actual weight savings.

Just took a look at the fastlane arms they look good, i think i will try them next. the lower is very similar to the skid arms, but i like the design of the upper arm it looks very stout. after 2 sets of stock arms i am suggesting aftermarket, or maybe i should take some riding lessons.

i had also gone through my fair share of lowers. I tend to use the rule " if its smaller round then a beer can, its traction" alittle to much i think. I was looking at the fastlanes, but am going to take a look at the ZBROZ.

I hope you added the dog bone support to the A-arm bolts, its the one under the air box, if not you may want to do some close inspection on the mounting holes. just an FYI.
