Looking for a Narrowing A Arm kit 2011 M8

Tmann · Oct 26, 2016

I have heard about a 36 inch A Arm kit for the M8. Can anyone tell me where to find these or does anyone have a complete kit for sale? Guessing the shocks will also need to be changed and possibly the steering linkage. Any directions or information on parts needed would be appreciated. I'm not a big fan of the float shocks that are currently on the sled and would like to do a coil over conversion at the same time.

We have the 36.5". Shocks do need shortened (16.5" eye to eye extended length). I've have quite a few kits out there and have never had anyone not like it. In my book the two oldies but goodies that will never die are the rev chassis with the 37" and the M with this 36.5". Fun sleds.

Is there any reason that a guy with fox floats on the front could just run them a little lower pressure and make it work without cutting them down?

What is an aprox cost for all parts (not including shocks)

alt · Nov 28, 2016

$455.00 plus some shipping on those.

Does the alt impact 36" front end kit come with shorter tie rod bars? Also I have heard if you have coil overs the spring hits spindle with 36" front end. Is this the case? If so do floats clear spindle? Thanks.

They do not come with the tie rods. This I guess was just one of those kits that wasn't really expected to go very far so we didn't get set up with our tie rod maker. Depending on the year of sled they either have metric or standard threads which added to it, so it was better in my mind to have the customers do it (as easy as it really is) and keep the kit price to a minimum. As for the coil shocks I've never personally run into an issue. The floats without a doubt have a lot more clearance.

I installed these a arms on my 2010 m8 over the summer

My coil shocks fit fine after being shortened to 16.5 inches

Shortening the tie rods isn't a big deal. Just cut them down and tap them. Can't remember what length I cut mine to but it's talked about in the other thread

I was emailing Alt Impact a couple weeks ago as I'm very interested in a kit...

9-3/4" is the suggested length
