Question Lower control arms!!!??

Alright so jus bolted on my new lca"s from rustys .. They are the 130$ fixed ones ... I put them on the same way that my old aftermarket ones came off ... That would be with the bend closer to the top (bodyside) ive seen them pput on with the bend closer to the axle side tho .. My question is should i take them off and flip em around or is there no difference or what???

Pretty sure you want LCA's more parallel to ground, with the "bend" so it allows for max articulation on up travel. Post a pic.. I wanna see this..

Bend needs to go down near the axle. It's for clearance of your shock mount.
