Upper Control Arm Options

[jayLC1]

Has anyone done the control arm upgrade? I am looking at doing this when I do a lift, but am swallowing hard at the $500-700 price for such a seemingly simple part. They are quite pretty...

Here are a few options:

Oh wow, those are ONLY $560, I'd better jump on that ASAP!

They do seem overpriced for what they are. I haven't gone this route yet, but for almost $600, I am promised .5" more travel! Yay.

Well it is not only the extended droop... But the caster correction after you do your suspension lift.

Yes, apparently you run out of correction when it's lifted.

That's a mere $1,200 per 1"...

I got over 1" more droop with SPC arms vs stock arms with my setup. There are many threads on this...

This. Understanding why you need parts and what they do is important.

Why modify a vehicle when you don't want to do it right. It is way cheaper to leave it stock. We advise people on how to build functional vehicles.

As to price for the parts, what is the comment based on? Just don't like the price or you can make them cheaper?
