FREEDOM Offroad Control Arms - Under $350 Tubular Upper Arms from Battle Born!

Any update on the durability test? Also do you know the spring rate? Is it more or less stiff that OEM?

I don't have many miles on these yet but very happy with them, especially for the price.

The build quality is great, welds looked solid, and they are BEEFY! Fit was perfect, plenty of clearance for shock mounts - I believe they were re-designed awhile back.

I'm running a Dobinsons IMS lift with C302's (2.5") and it's settled about 2.7" - with those specs my caster is at 3.6 degrees and the rest in the green.

So far I can't see any need to have spent more money for JBA / SPC arms. If I was rocking a 3.5" lift the SPC's might be nice for the additional caster adjustment.

Looks fantastic! thank you for the review.

Seriously considering these,
Anyone else ran them and have an opinion on them?

Did you guys ever find out how much caster is built in?
Or is you can easily find replacement ball joints for them?

Quick update - I got re-aligned and am now sitting at 3.8 / 4.0 caster - was hoping the shop would balance it better, but the truck drives great. I've had no issues with these arms in 5K miles, with probably 500 of them being offroad or running fast on fire roads.

I ended going with these also, alignment got to 3.9 and 4.0 caster,
It's a nice improvement. More I drive it the more I notice it being better.

One of the ball joints did not have a hole drilled for the cotter pin, I have two castle nuts on it right now acting as jam nuts.
I need to contact them about it.

Thank you all for the reviews. We are happy with the performance of these arms for the price! If you are at 2-3" of lift, there are more than good!
