07 700

Im about to purchase a 07 D7 it has some different a-arms and shocks on the front. The a-arms measure about 42" wide at the outside of spindle. Is this going to affect the boondocking and side hilling ability of this sled? If I were to go with narrower arms would I need to change the shocks and tie rod also?

I can't help with your question, but just a heads up on some stuff that the rest of us have changed on ours (if you haven't read about it already). Mostly throttle body boots, and the voltage regulator, and if you're down under the engine at any point, make sure all your steering linkage is tight. There's probably some other stuff if you read around, but these are things I wish I'd known before they failed on me!

Otherwise, enjoy! I love mine!

the iq chassis is a very nimble manuverable chassis to begin with. 42in isnt tooo wide. on my assault i run the 43in zbroz arms and have no issues with manuverability. granted in theory a 40 or 41in would help you....would it be noticiable? not sure! if you went with the timbersled 38in that would be enough of a difference you could probably tell.

so if you do decide to change things up you probable wouldnt have to change shocks because the 41in holz arms and the 38in timbersled arms i believe are designed to be used with the the stock 17in shocks. tie rods would be included with your a arm purchase.
