stock arms work fine when modified for upto 29" tall tires

less than $150 for me in welding wire and drop spindles and i'm on the ground with 255/30/22

balljoints binding isnt fine and stock arms look like crap

hahah he used his first post to tell you!! j/k

anyways as for the barely legal arms i ordered uppers for the yota almost two months ago, still no sign of them. every time i call oh they will be cut this week and rushed shipped to you. ahah.as for the silver star arms, just got some for a blazer upper and lower, not very impressed with them. they are like migged together and have welding spatter all over them. not very show quality. but all thats my 2 cents, you asked for it, there it is.good luck with your venture.

powerperformance balljoints don't bind up on pie cut uppers

and they look fine sandblasted and painted. They don't look any worse than the stock front frame clip.

plus, for less than $200 in drop spindles and balljoints I lay on 255/30/22.

I powdercoated my link setup and bought a set of headers with the $ I saved on control arms.

Best advice to ANYONE looking for parts that are custom like control arms.

Ignore all the Hype on ssm and other boards.Ignore the buddy's posting as customers.

What you need is people that have actually used installed and DRIVEN on any arm. Seems there are alot of arms out there that get overhyped with not one on the road just people jumping on the wagon because its cheap or so and so said its cool.

Price should be the last concern not the first.

your definition of "fine" and evertyone elses must be different. If we just wanted "fine" we would all drive stock trucks. stamped steel arms look like crap. you cant polish a turd
