Long control arms? who to buy next
okay long control arms. the current kit is a RCD the control arms are a POS. they are to noisy the bushings are failing every 1 1/2. getting new parts is a Joke through RCD. so I'm done would like to get new control arms. looking at Dick Cepek long arms. under a different name now? for double the price there is the long arm from DT pro-fab. $$$
but looking more towards the style from DC.

those look good and $, I'm looking for long control arms like I have now. but when I ditch the RCD ones I have I will need to get a kit I can use that will have the new location mounts. or that I make. using the RCD kit I had to remove all of the stock mounting points.

You could do what I plan on doing and save yourself some dough. When my stuff wears out I am going to cut the ends off and put on Johnny joints so they are rebuildable and adjustable, RCD SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ballistic Joints, they are rebuild-able but haven't had to yet, been using water resistant grease with 4 years of driving on them. Yes you will have to make your own long arm kit. It is easy.

If you can get under the truck and take some measurements, I bet Thuren would be able to make a custom set for a little more $$$.
Im real happy with the ones I have.. theyre the old prototype ones with bushings on both ends.
