my outer ball cups keep popping too one little tap that’s it. Love the product and the way it drives but I drive it safely cause I know it can pop off anytime. I tried heavy duty and same. Next step is to switch to associate cups I guess ??

If ballcups are popping off, make sure you are using a fresh set and also make sure when the shocks are at full compression/extension that there's no strain on the ballcup (too much of an angle) and also same with front wheels left/right and shocks compressed/extended.

Hi, curious as to changes in the rear arms from 22t to current versions, what length is the rear arm of a 22t 4.0 from pin to pin

They are not popping off rather breaking in half..

so i was looking at the TLR website... how does the 22T 4.0 come with a ball diff? Why not a gear diff? Is a ball diff somehow better in a ST? though i dun c how...

Most dirt setups use a ball diff, and high traction surfaces get a gear diff. The 22t is based upon the 22 4.0 dc kit, and not the carpet.

So the 22T 4.0 is available again at Horizon after being backordered for months. I thought for sure we'd see an updated truck to the 5.0 front end.
I'm guessing it's not in the plans for now then. Any comment from the TLR guys?

I use Schumacher captured ball cups on my 5.0 and 22x-4. I use them on all the camber links. There is pros and cons. Obviously the ball cups don't pop off. So something else is going to give. If you crash more than a couple times a night, othose are not for you. You'll lose an arm or caster block or something more serious than a popped cup. Once you pop a cup, its useless.
But personally, I dont use TLR ballstuds or cups on either of my buggies. Im probably in the minority but I've not had good luck at all with tlr ball cups. Where I dont use the Schumacher cups, I use AE ballstuds and cups.

I think the last anyone has heard was back in July, and that was a no new truck.

In other segments, what motors are people running in their trucks for high bite clay?

hard to beat the trinity x-factor for high bite. Bought a Fantom for my 4WD buggy and love it too.

used to have the same problem with Schumacher ball studs and the caps

I used to use the captive ball studs for the worst offenders which where the roll links. Remember you need the special spacer too.

however one assistance was adding a shock o ring onto the ball stud before putting the cap on. It prevents the leverage occurring too much. Works surprisingly well.

In addition - as we know this is a weak point - never pop them off. Only use the Allen key to undo the caps and if you do undo them, replace them straight away.

ball studs that stay put - xray 24/7.

My buddy has the 4.0 and he loves it.

Speaking of XRAY, while I've greatly enjoyed my 22 to 5.0 SR, as our local track switched from clay to carpet, instead of converting the 22 to 5.0 SR, I decided to pick up an XRAY XB2C. FANTASTIC build...and, I get what you mean about the ballcups. For my 22T 4.0, I need to decide whether to convert it for carpet, or possibly pick up the XRAY XT2. While TLR "knows" dirt/clay, XRAY "knows" carpet. If I decide to keep/convert the 22T to 4.0, I just might consider swapping out the TLR ballcups for XRAY ballcups. Do the XRAY ballcups click into the TLR ball studs? Or, would I need also to replace the TLR ball studs with XRAY ball studs?

Schumacher is smaller ball stud so you need to swap all manner of stuff. Would get expensive.

Except that the question was purely related to XRAY parts going onto the 22T 4.0...not Schumacher parts.
