Who is making the ATS arms now?

I know they are being sold under another companie's name now but for the life of me i can't remember it or find their web-site. SO does anyone know who it is or know where i can find a set of them? All of my other suspension stuff is here or on it's way but i am not sure when i will get to install it since i am away at school so for the mean time i guess i will just keep buying stuff!

Wider front stance and more travel, in the aspect of it will allow alot more droop. Tire rubbing and custom wheels are easier to fit as well. They do not physically legthen the arms but allow for quite a bit more movement. The ball joint angle is adjusted to be streight when lifted versus tiltled with stock arms that were designed to have a completely different angle.

Last I heard he was having a hard time making a profit on these. Once again the golden rule rings true: If you see something you want, you had better get it now or they will get smart and realize you can't make money on this stuff.

So as far as I know, your pretty much out of luck. There were several different batches of these.

1. Original, too long, Silver paint finish

2. Black ones sold through Wheelers Off Road, too long and incorrect bushings.

3. Final design sold by ATS and Mike (Group Buy). These were the best that had the corrections myself and Dave @ Campus Alignment here in Tempe had Chris @ ATS implement. Pro-Comp silver crinkle powder coat.


The Chaos arms look real nice. Bend over though.

This place is NOT them.

I don't know if you were thinking about this place. The A-Hole who screwed my gears up the first time came from this place.

ZAGS re-did them completley a few months later and they are doing great.

ProTrux is a store like K-Mart. They only re-sell stuff, they don't "make" anything.

They are also a big Total Caos retailer. Maybe you saw the TC arms ???

The site seems to be hosed so who knows. Maybe they re-sell the other folks arms too ??? Who knows ???
