Most of the control arms are generally the same. I use teraflex and love them.

Did you get the long arm that eliminates the upper control arm mounts?

Thank you, are you running anything?

Default RK!

If you are looking for heavy duty, full steel arms, strong, adjustable, life time warranty and amazing flex, go with Rock Krawler!
I hit a lot of rocks with my arms, and still the same. Very strong.

I don't think rock Krawler has a long arm upgrade though? I already have coils shocks etc.

Which brings me to my next question, what's the real difference in feel between a long and short arm?
