I totally had the same experience, way more bouncy or responsive than the stock arms. I have resolved most of this by lowering my tire pressure to 30 from 35 psi and may try dropping it to 28 psi just to see how it feels. Based on the calculations for vehicle weight and my specific tires I should be running them at about 25 psi which will help most of the absorption. My other thought was possibly lowering the Billies 1 notch or go with a coil over, but for now I am use to it and have had no other issues thus far.

Good to know. I'll give this a shot to see if it helps. I think I'm around 33 psi right now.

Have there been any reports of failures on these? Other threads are full of china-bashing and fear mongering, but no actual fialures because no one tried them. This is a pretty simple product, if they used reasonable steel and good welds it should be solid. I guess I'm looking for any definitive failure history that would question this. Granted, the guy on shift A may do a better job than the guy on shift B, so it obviously isn't representative of the whole population.

Agreed. My brother has the longest known history of running these I know of on the forums and has not "upgraded" them. He has had no failures. He ran tellico with them and drives hard.

Icon uses a double stick tape, you might be able to do the same.

I'm run mine without the caps. Just clean out the grease then hit it with a teflon lube and when you wash the truck just wipe it out and reapply. Been doing this for over a year and so far so good.
Put a set on the GX. Bushing sleeves were a bit too short, but I made it work. The dust caps were a joke, so I left them off. We are a little over 2100 miles in with these and I check them Often. So far, so good. Time will tell.
All installed and coil overs cranked up an additional 1/4 inch to get the truck closer to level.

I hate the blue to be honest, but it's all they had in stock....

It's different though! Better than the typical red/silver that everyone else has. Red powder coat would have been cool though.

I read the entire thread and, right at the very end, got super confused as to weather or not the blue and silver control arms are the same, because the Ebay store names are different.
In any case, I'm holding out until they get more silver ones in stock.

Chances are they are built in the same place but buyer 1 spec'ed silver/red, buyer 2 spec'ed blue/red.

Most likely, but given the silver ones have been tested, I'm going to hold out until those become available.

I am fairly certain it is one distributor operating under like 5 different names...
It looks like they had some 3M double sided adhesive on them, but it was pretty weak. I'll try to find something stronger.
