It might be but at $450 for a 2"-4" over chrome moly arm with 13" brake arm with heim joints at both ends, tabs for chain guard, new bearing kit and hollow 4130 hollow axle to fit your wheel combo is as good as price as your going to get. Price is going to go up when the new shop and web site gets up.
Same arm only with shock mounts for twin shocks.
