long arm question
 
so my RC long arm kit just arrived today and one of the upper control arms is bent at and angle opposed to the other one being straight, is the kit supposed to come like this? :confused1: or did i get a defective upper control arm? thanks for any input.

Supposed to be that way. It's for the driver side to help clear the diff.

Make sure to grease those johnny joints up real good, and then re-grease them every 1-2 weeks of DD, and DEFFINATLY every wheeling trip. Otherwise they WILL crap the bed. Its probably a good idea to spray the threads of the johnny joints with a non corrosive lithium grease to keep dirt out of there.

What size lift did you get. I'm thinking of getting a 6.5" RC long arm. The web site says 35 fit with some trimming. What size tires are you going to have on her?
