Duroflex 101
This short video covers what you need to know about the basics of the Duroflex Joint. How it should be used and what to expect when using it.
Lock-N-Load For Long Arm Suspension
Designed to remove any stresses from bushings and welded brackets, the Lock-n-load lets your suspension move freely without bind when articulation is need.
Lock-N-Load
"Typical" Radius Arm systems inherently bind causing premature bushing wear and excessive stress on bracketry. The Lock-N-Load solves that problem.

| WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE LOCK-N-LOAD | ||||||||||
 |
The Lock-N-Load is designed to ONLY work the front of a linked radius arm suspension. The Lock-N-Load ONLY replaces the Passenger side upper control arm (your current driver side upper control arm remains in place). The upper control arm must have a joint that connects at the lower control arm and a clevis that connects at the axle end. |
|||||||||
|
The Lock-N-Load will currently work on most any radius arm suspension that the passenger side upper arm measures between 16" and 17" from eye to eye. Note: If your radius arm set-up meets these parameters it will work whether you have a JK or a JK or some other custom build (though it has only been designed and tested with the JK in mind). |
