3 degree arms will correct a 2" lift ( they also do 6 degree for a 4" lift, and 0 degree  for standard) The wide or narrow bit refers to the width of the radius arm where the bush fits at the axle end. Later vehicles had wider arms than earlier vehicles. I think it changed with the 300tdi but i'm not definate on that. I would just measure the arms that are on your vehicle and give them the measurement, they should be able to sort you out. In reality it doesn't matter anyway, as long as you fit the apropriate bushes for the arms either will fit the vehicle as the axle mounts are the same. :)

I would reccomend that you paint the arms before you fit them. They come gold passivated and they soon look crappy! :)

I'm told Defender are different to RRC/Disco, then agian early RRC are different too.. Ask Qt for advice, and buy direct it has to be the cheapest option.

It's only the spring height that makes the difference on the caster angle & yes you can buy direct from QT.   :D  

Just to give you a choice, Scorpion Racing also make them.  :wink:

IIRC when I got mine from Scorpion they were about £40 cheaper than QT so it's smart to have a phone round.  :mrgreen:

The Scorpion one don't come with bushes either, I was lucky and had not long had polybush's in so was able to just swap them onto the new arms.  :wink:
