Default Got My Rusty's Control Arms Last Night

The UPS guy delivered my Rusty's adjustale lower control arms last night. Wow, these things are beefy! Weld quality looks good, powder coat looks decent, tubing is heavy as hell, rod end looks monster sized. Overall looks like a great deal for $200 plus $25 for the UPS guy.

Placed my internet order around noon (PST), got a conf e-mail in minutes, got another e-mail a few hours later with a UPS tracking number showing it was already at the UPS center, 7 days later it's at my door. Flawless execution Rusty!

Now lets see how those suckers work!

I like the Rustys products. I had a OME/Rustys lift on my Liberty and have a Rustys lift on my CJ 5. Good quality parts.

I'm in the hunt for new lower contol arms, I know a lot of people running Rusty's stuff. How was the fit and quality of the arms? They look like they use Rubicon Express joints.

I've had my Rusty's front and rear lowers for over 4000 miles and no problems. Fit and finish are very good and so far performing as expected. I'm sure yours will be the same.

They look the same, but I do not think the RE joints are adjustable. Either way, I think both companies are buying it from another manufacture and only make the tubing in house.

I have had my Rusty's front and rear arms on for about 20k miles. Not to mention beating them against rocks all the time. They are strong and flawless!

The nice thing about them is the fact that you can tighten the flex joints after they break in. So far I think I have snugged mine up 2 times. But remember, I am runing level 10 trails a couple times a year too.

If you are looking for great stuff and market fair pricing, go with Rusty's, you will be happy!

I am really interested how well these tune in caster, my caster right now is like 2.2 degrees and my ride is pretty flighty..How much adjustment could I expect in just getting the Front LCA's? I am running a TF 2.5 Coil lift which nets over 3' and 35's.
