Are ZBros A arms worth the money?

[sledneck600]

So both my lower control arms are bent and it's going to be about $380 for OEM arms (that's just for the two lower arms).

ZBros are $480 for the kit (upper and lower arms and tie rods).

Are they worth the extra cash? Are they really stronger than stock arms?

thanks

 

[mtncat1]

they are great arms and well worth the money.

 

[wjl]

Yes

X2 on the z bros
Since a single lower are is "only" $200.00 to replace if you bend the z bros
Search: a arms got mine for $450 shipped
That price for stock arms is a good price.

 

[maxitout77]

Absolutely. Replacement arms from Zbroz are like $140 IIRC. Look and perform better.

 

[philsummers21]

Yep. Id PM boston racing on here tho. cheapest place ive found for zbroz

 

[fastmnstealth]

What do you guys to if you bend the Zbros when on a trip? If you bend the stocker, you can just get a replacement stocker from the local dealer. I doubt anybody will have Zbros in stock.

well worth the money, i bought the 36 kit new and put it on my 13 before it even saw the snow. put on 1000 miles last season and they still look new even after numerous hits where i was sure i bent an a arm. halfway through the season i bought a used 36 kit from a guy here on the forums to use for spares. luckily i havent needed them so far. highly recommend them.

 

[sledneck600]

Cool, thanks everyone! I have PMs into a couple people to get some prices. I'm hoping to get these and some new boards before the snow starts piling up here in Co. Damn boards started breaking last season.

they are well worth the money. get them to replace the stock crappers.

I would just keep your stockers as a back up.

Z-Zbroz all the way, have 1500 boosted miles on a set and mainly in the trees with the trash, as stated above they look like the day input them on. Wouldn't go any other way!!

With zbroz the upper ball joint is the weak point.
Carry a spare easy fix.
Havent bent an arm yet.
Bent three stockers in 1k miles.
Treebarking.

Looking at getting a set of these, but see there out of stock on the 39"...if i go 36, do i need different shocks? what are the advantages of 36 other than tighter trees, i have no problems layin this sled over. thanks guys/gals!

Besides being stronger are there any other benefits to the ZBroz arms over stock??

Benefits of the arms include:

4130 Cromoly construction, lighter weight & additional strength
Added clearance at the lower shock mount due to the design
Swedge tube tie rods shave weight over the stock tie rods
Replacement arms are available at a very resonable cost.
They dont bend when you look at them. I've put the arms through my pateneded ETT Proccess (Extreme Tree Tests) and they have passed with flying colors.

For those looking, I have the 39" & 36" kits in stock. I also stock at least 2 lowers for fast repalcement in the event you damage an arm. I can usually get a guy back on snow the next day with overnight shipping.

Do these arm's just bolt on and go?

Good read

As for the bolt on and go depends on what width arms you go with the 39s yes but the 36s you have to install shorter tie rods and adjust the toe. (someone will correct me if I am wrong about the 39s but nothing is 100% correct when installing a new set of arms, just like when something is done on the front end of a car/truck you want to check)
