how much did you spend for the first set ?

 

I'm not sure why you would want adjustable arms unless you were planning on changing the lift height on a regular basis.

 

everybody is talking about the "custom length control arms" from top gunz right? The tubualr steel ones with the bushing housing welded on and the red skyjacker bushings for $240?? I was just about to order some that are 1/2in longer, but now i'm thinking i ought to save up some more $$ and get Thurens or Calris....they don't use the poly bushings!

 

I don't want adjustables, I just want to get the wheels away from the cab. With a 2 inch lift it pulls the wheels backward toward the cab so that there is like 2 inches of clearance between the wheel and cab and like 3 inches from the wheel to the bumper (that's a guesstamate).... It looks shoddy IMO.

Plus it will give me some extra room if I want to run some "undersized" 37's later.

 

After putting in the lift spacers, I bought Ranchos control arms, added the zirks and like them alot. Instant change for the better.

 

i never had any issues with top gunz but the picture posted is there hi end control arms they have out they are around 6 or 8 hundred i believe, i just got the regular ol tube style ones work good enough for what i need.

 

Are the uppers longer than stock too or just the lowers? It wouldnt be hard to make these at home would it.

 

If you are good with math I'd imagine not.... I'd rather save the trouble and buy them instead of hunting parts down. I've got enough projects going right now .

 

How much did the ranchos cost?

 

I've got to agree TGC are IDIOTS. Gave them 3 chances to do a smooth transaction they couldn't do any right. I got my lift 5 months ago and I still don't have my rear Bilsteins on, because they sent me the wrong bushings originally AND a second time Then they told me Bilstein doesn't make shocks for our trucks for 6" lift. They are beyond dumb and I am so sick of trying to deal with them.

I can't even begin to name all my problems with them.....

Just take the advice of us who have had problems with them, just get your parts somewhere else!

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll seriously consider it after my dealings with a body shop I had this week.


But right now I don't know of any other makers.
