Default Rusty's Lower Control arms

Hey all,

I really need to dial in my suspension better and up my caster because my ride is very flighty.....so I have been researching LCA's to pick up. I have been looking at all the different brands, and was just wondering if anyone had the Rusty's Front LCA's that could let me know how they are..I tryed searching but havent found anything about these. Thanks in advance!!

I am running Rusty's stuff, control arms and all. Very very happy with them! They have taken a lot of abuse without any trouble. Start by making them .300 longer than the factory arms and you will be right in the ballpark.

I have a 4" Pro Comp lift with Rusty's front & rear Adj LCA's. They are very good quality at a very good price.

Thanks for all the info guys, I think I have narrowed it down to Full Traction and Rusty's LCA's...so those that have them, which adjust the best? I want to maximize the use of LCA's to achieve as much caster as possible. Thanks again!!

CAs are mostly about joints and bushings.

Make sure you get the new reformulated compound bushings is you choose FT.

Poly(urethane) bushings are usually very stiff.

Rustys claims to use OEM bushings
