Cranked trailing arms

Hi all I have a +2 lift with terrafirma +5 shocks and I'm looking at cranked rear arms, the question is will I need double cranked arms?? Cheers Ed

I have had 10+ defenders and a majority have had a 2" lift, I have never felt the need for cranked arms.

That depends on what you want your rear suspension to do

For good advice speak to Gwynn lewis as I have his kit with cranked arms and it works well on and off road.

Don't forget more droop is hard in uj,s and bushes

Have run Gwyn's cranked arms on my 90 for years. Think they are great, takes the strain off the bushes, and allow a big more flex
