I've only ran gremlins so I couldn't tell you. Never had a problem with the stock onesbut ask C4 he's full of knowledge.

Pacer arms are quite a bit stiffer You got a pacer A arm you can snap a pic of? Kind of curious on what the difference is between the two. |

I have a complete wheel-to-wheel sub sitting on the ground. I'll snap a pic tomorrow if I remember. That sub has abou 7-8 heats on it.One of the arms bent moderately....was able to put it in a press & bend it right back into shape & it stayed that way.
Gremlins and Eagles use the same a-arms They don't do to bad on Gremlins, but they are placed differently on Eagles because of the 4x4 spindle & front axles. Can't keep a stock a-arm in a Eagle for more than a heat or 2

Been drinking most of the afternoon cause my college team got whooped, and I bought another Gremlin today so all I'm doing is kicking knowledge and boozing. |

On top of swapping ball joints, welding A arms for bumper height, I've put a 5/8 in hole thru both upper n lower A arm, put all thread thru n tightened the he'll out of it. Kind of a fail safe for A arm welds plus it gave her a redneck alignment
