Ive got stock radius arms with jimnybits castor correction bushs in the front,one of the arms is fairly bent.
Im thinking of replacing the arms with corrected ones ,I'm running a 50mm trail master lift with front diesel springs.No swaybar
My question is ,what are the negatives,if any,of running 3 inch lift corrected arms on a 50 mm set up ?

The steering will feel heavier if you had castor angle corrected arms to suit a 3" lift on a 2", but if my memory serves me right the castor angle would still be with-in factory spec.

How bent is the arm?

would be cheaper to get seconf hand arms and press the bushes in.
the JB ones are welded with from what i have read is a nono with the ADR's or something

eiter way i ran them and i rate them with stock jimny rubber bushes.
