anyone running total chaos stock length lower control arms?

[chrissurfr]

Hi all,

As I'm still waiting for my Kings - I'm pondering doing stock length lower control arms at the same time.

Would anyone like to share feedback and/or pics they have?

Any pros/cons to look out for?

Thanks,
Chris

Not running TC but I have Dirt King lowers. Keeping the uniballs clean is a real pita. Other than that they're much more solid than the OEM, and I think the money was worth the upgrade.

Pros: Steering is much better, smoother.
Delrin bushings, vs the OEM injected rubber and TC poly bushings.
DK was about $450 cheaper than TC race series when I purchased.

Cons: I had to wait about 4 weeks. While everyone seemed to have the TC lowers in stock when I needed to replace
Uniball is open and hard to clean due to the proximity of the knuckle attachment.

Thank You for your interest in our Lower Control Arms. We do have a thread covering the different models here:

Keeping the arms clean and properly lubricated will greatly increase component longevity. A good practice is to wipe down and apply dry ptfe lube after every off-road trip. Using the correct lubricant is key to making sure debris and grime doesn't stick to the uniball. We recommend triflow or CRC dry PTFE lubricant.
