Baja Kits knocked it outta the park with their Upper and Lower trailing arms for the Ford Bronco! Not only do they look stunning, but the trophy truck functionality that Baja Kits is known for bled through in the design. Overall, it was a piece of cake, but there was a minor hurdle I encountered, was determining the method for dropping the gas tank instead of entirely removing it. I highly recommend checking out the installation video at your convenience, as it provides a clear visual guide. These arms offer massive strides in getting the most out of your rock crawling machine. And if you've got any burning questions about the process or these awesome Baja Kits, don't hesitate to shout 'em out. Here to help you!

Sawzall also works if you don't want to drop the tank if just doing lowers. Was surprised their brake lines didn't let go. Looked to be stretched past what I would be comfortable with.

Reusing the factory hardware is a no-go. They are single use parts and should be replaced. Those brake lines, YIKES!

I have had my Metalcloak arms that I won at the round up and still have not installed because I didn't want to remove the entire tank. This is perfect timing. Thanks man!

Banjo! I detatched the brakeline backets during my MetalCloak install, intalled the RC Relo bracket on the bottom. I found I didn't need the top bracket since my Radflos aren't long enough to need that bracket.

The hardest part of the project was that damn blue clip since I didn't know how to open it.
