Good videos there. I've been in the market for rear uppers and front lowers and will delve into taking a serious look at these guys. I was mulling between Currie and TeraFlex..

After watching the videos, and reading more reviews on the Metalcloak, I must say if money was not a deciding factor, I probably would have already ordered them. The real question is it worth paying twice the price of Rough Country X Flex controls arms to get the Metalcloak?

It would be nice if we could get a small group buy on control arms from a vendor

In this world, there is a saying by true definition: Pay once in the beginning or pay twice in the end.

Take a look at Krawl Off Road for driveshafts. They recently started selling their own.

Yea, I guess you do get what you pay for.

I didn't realize they started selling their own driveshafts. However, after some quick research, they also reuse the factory flange on the front pinion

Another vote for Metalcloak. I have their set up and it rides great. DS is a 1310 Coast. No problems with it either.

I'm going between rock krawler and treadles for my control arms! I'm a big TF fan and eventually will be getting their 6" LCOG kit!!

Keep in mind if you choose RK rear uppers. You will have to call and ask for them to shorten a set. The ones offered are too long.
With Teraflex there are 2 part numbers for the rear uppers. Make sure you order the correct lengths.
