hey danny is my brother you know the one with 2.6 buggy anyway
we both have been looking online for 3x5 trailing arm axles or some info on what and where you can get axles for 3x5's it seems that nobody has an exact answer.but if you are loooking for 3x3's you can find axles anywhere.it seems everybody has or knows where to get axles for 3x3's.hell you can even get the kit 3x3 trailing arms with chromoly axles.but with 3x5's its like you're told (well, good luck with that)
my question is, are 3x3's better than 3x5's are they more popular is that why it seems a person can find out alot more about 3x3's rather than nothing about the 3x5's if anyone has the answer about 3x5 trialing arms it would be appreciated. thank you

your answer is go with 3x3's.

there is no "kit" but i think curt is working on one.
you can't do it for 600.00
you need custom trailing arms and heim joints connecting them to the torsion
you need to ditch the torsion bars and run airbags or coilovers

think thats about it. you can't find any 21 1/4 axles?

If you have any fab skills make your own.I`ve made three sets its not that hard just take your time and make a jig and weld them up the last pair I made were 2x4 and have been on there for three years and not one problem and its been rolled three times and no damage to the trailing arms.I thought I had a pair of 21 1/4 axles I`ll have to check.
