AIM products inparticular tubular arms...

Boats N' Hoes · 04-28-2008, 11:42 PM

ok so im looking at the AIM tubular arms for my bagging needs. the specs of that arms are just as beefy as suicide's arms if not THICKER. i havent found any real info on the arms being junk (pics of bad welds, cracks, bends ect). sure theres threads about their stuff being junk but whatever.

also in the 2 latest issues of mini trucking the project truck is running all AIM/airbagit stuff.

does anyone have or know someone running this stuff? i ask because i cant justify 800 bucks for the barely legal arms or even 750 for the suicides. help please!

thanks
kris

aims products are crap- atleast the stuff ive ordered from them- if you need more testmonials(sp?) check out streetsourcemag.com

ALL of AIM is GARBAGE, period, if it dont break or bend it never arrives, and their customer service does NOT exhist, ou buy it your stuck with it. Not to mention they steal everyones ideas, and products, makes them cheeply and tries to pass it off as the real deal. Spend the xtra money and dont be sorry later.

ive been looking into the new barely legal fab flat arms...alot of people are running them on s10forum and have no complaints. plus ive heard nothing but greatness about these guys.

I used AIM c/as back in the day, only complaint was I had no turning radius to the poorly engineerd uppers. I know most of there stuff is inferior, but some shit is OK. Would I personally... NO not when theres better. However I have heard quite a few using the FBI arms and no problems. I ordered a set for a CK and never heard back from the customer, so I guess OK?

P.S. Frank @ Reds usses alot of there bags with no issues. So I ordered some to try, look nice?

My 2 pennies.

thanks for the info. im just waiting for the next mini truckin to come out to see if the arms broke on the sema truck lol

Do not buy anything from them. Trust me on this. They should really change their name to Shame Ind. Poor shipping practices, lucky if you get all the parts you ordered. Wrong parts, bad customer service.

What are the benefits of using aftermarket arms? I mean other than them being stronger, if I'm just going for a simple F/B system should I still run them? While were talking about arms, can you get away with just running uppers or lowers with the others being stock? I'm obviously not informed at all when it come to this subject, so any replies will be appreciated.

Depending on your truck they may be necessary to better align, correct ball joint and tie rod angles, clearance to get lower. If you are doing a simple FB setup you may not need them unless you are trying to lay out. Let us know if we can help.
thanx
