Selleck, Can you put a thread out in about June? Letting us know how they are holding up. Maybe a couple of pics. Looked at those a few times.
Yeah, no problem. Says they use stock bushing and when the weather warms up I can post some pictures of them.
You didn't mention how and where you drive. If it's mainly on the street with occasional of road, mainly trails, less costly arms will be satisfactory and hold up well. If you are frequently off road, disconnect your sway bar and constantly max flex the suspension, investing in better quality arms are the best route. Either way, with that lift height you do need to replace the lowers. You suspension caster has to be way off with stock arms and a 4.5" lift.
It's not my DD and it's a mainly street with off-roading/ mudding every now and then, but I do plan on doing some trail riding eventually
As mentioned above, buy good ones once instead of having to replace them down the road. I would start with a pair of front lowers (that will allow you to get your caster dialed in). Then buy a pair of rear lowers....stock lower arms are too short for that much lift, and the rear lowers will allow you to get your rear pinion angle where it should be.
thats what scares me about those arms, the oem arms can flex as the stamped steel isnt as rigid as a solid arm. JJ or duroflex joints allow the rotation to happen in the joints them selves. once you eliminate the flex in the arm where will the rotation happen?
for long arm, depends if its a bolt on kit, not many pros. a custom made build, can be many pros, but takes a lot of knowledge, tools, and time
