Best Value in Adjustable Control Arms
Title says it all. Was wondering who has them, what brands hold up, what bushings hold up best. I'm looking for at least lower arms for now, uppers in the future. I'm at 4.5" on fixed short arms that need to be 1/2" longer. That extra 1/2" helps to clear my 33s better.

The rubber bushing split and chunked apart after one month.
Then bought RockKrawler upper and lowers (short arms with drop brackets). Works great and after almost 2 years is holding up very well to abuse. Rubber bushing still looks great,joints are still tight. Great price too, 2 years ago.

I have the Iron Rock Offroad adjustable lca. 180 bucks. I can't testify on longevity as I just installed them yesterday. They look like they are well made and should last me. I'm not a hardcore wheeler though. Iron Man 4x4 are pricey but they are pure beef.

Thanks Steve I over looked rock kraawlers I will definitely check em out and mike I really looked into iron rock an like their products plus I've heard positive reviews. The IRO arms are reasonable in price and I believe have free shipping?

I have always had a good experience with IRO. They have half off shipping for forum members. Their LCAs have a bend in them. This helps significantly with increasing your droop over the stockers which contact the shock mounts limiting droop.

Another vote for IRO leans me toward them significantly. I need to gather up enough funds through selling some old lift parts to fund these arms

Mine took about a week to get to NM. Your closer so maybe less. Install was a snap. Don't even have to lift it off the ground.
