any thoughts about the daystars i was looking at them too

 

My suggestion would be either Currie or Clayton. Most of the top-tier manufacturers are building a good quality arm. The difference is in the joints - which also happens to the most important part of the arm in terms of durability. I happen to think that Currie builds the best joints going - Johnny Joints.

There's a reason that Clayton buys Currie joints to build their arms with.

 

rustys has good stuff. better price for the same or better product, i have rustys front and rear lowers on mine.

 

All of the above are great. Another option if you want to go with a complete front upper/lower CA setup is the Rusty's offroad frontend set. They are derived from the long-arm setup and have excellent movement. A guy in my club is running these and the front axle moves very well on the vertical plane.

Or the just the lower adjustable for $199......

I'm not affiliated with Rusty's but I've seen them here and there on the trails here in Colorado and they seem to perform well.

 

I just saw these today on their website.

It looks like it is an Upper AND lower control arm, all one piece.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? I would think if this was a good option other control arm manufacturers would have already done this. Is there a reason why you would NOT use a product like this? Is it best for lifts over a certain number of inches?

Thanks !

 

Rubicon express uses radius arms, it causes radical caster changes throughout the cycle of the axle. Radius arms bind more than a 4 link and also reported to not load or unload as smooth...... With all that being said....Other guys use them and like them but I would stick to a 4 link or a 3 link.....

 

Must be something new they're doing, that's ussually only done on longarm kits.

 

It is a long arm

 

Not a long arm, they mount to the stock CA mounts.

 

Can you ask the guy in your club how they feel on the highway? That is a very interesting longarm-type solution for stock CA mounts. You've got my attention...
