I just bought a 3.5 krawler kit and I want to atleast fix my caster with some adjustable arms. Who has the best deals going right now?

 

Best deals or the cheapest? those two are not the same.

For front uppers I would go with Currie as they can adjust pretty short. Front lowers I have currie and Teraflex in stock and on sale.

Are there adjustable control arms I should stay away from? My understanding is that most of the aftermarket arms are considered to be stronger than the brackets they connect to.

Also what gives more adjustment to caster, front uppers or lower?

 

That last one is an excellent question that many don't pay attention to.

The adjustabel lower CAs give you a much wider range of adjustment (more than you will ever need) by the simple virtue of their ability to extend more than many
upper CAs can contract.

Dave's comment above is a good information to know, since some upper CAs minimum length is close stock length, therefore negating much of their value.
He points out that the Currie's UCAs (which are a quality product) are shorter than others which is good as long as they can extend enough to overcome that reduction in length.

I wish my Clayton's were about half an inch shorter.

 

Front lowers will give you more caster adjustment. I believe only the Currie front uppers will adjust short enough to dial in your caster. Currie, Clayton, Teraflex, JKS, Rock Krawler (and others) are all quality arms. I'd stay away from the non-adjustable arms.

 

I have a TeraFlex 2.5 coil lift and was able to use Clayton's uppers to adjust my caster from 2.3 degrees after the lift back to the factory setting of about 4.2degrees.
The main reason I went with their's is they are a 40 min drive from me.
Clayton and Adam felt that was the best route for me to go with my setup.

Clayton's is also running a sale on their stuffs this week.
I am in no way affiliated with them, just happy with their products and customer service.

 

What about the Rusty's adj. LCA's for only $199 on their site, does anyone know much about them?

 

That is a lot cheaper than most I have seen, I have front LCAs but I have been pricing adjustable rear upper and lowers, Daystar has about the lowest price I have seen so far. I would like to see a pair

 

I have these for front and rear lowers and like them very much. Much beefier than stock and the price is right compared to the bigger brand names. I never heard anything bad about Rusty's so so far so good.

 

400 bucks for 4 lower adjustable control arms with forged ends sounds like a deal. This sounds promising so far......
