Comber/caster adjustment is manipulated in the frame portion of the LCA mount, so the alignment capabilities or process wouldn't be affected by replacing the arms. [emoji1360]

Exactly! I'm about to extend some stock arms just to play with how everything will work. I'm thinking 1" forward at the LBJ would be perfect, but I might be off.
I know you said 'don't quote me on the timeline' ... but any news on if or when these might be available?

Perhaps a poll with lots of options would be useful, as there seems to be several marketing angles here (ranging from LT requests with advanced features, to durability increases, to firewall clearance).
I would be firmly in the camp of "I'd just want to bolt on LCAs that move the LBJ forward for better lifted alignment and increased firewall clearance."

So I was browsing around last night and found These. I guess Solo came through and delivered on them.
No secondary shock option which I find interesting but maybe it wasn't feasible to stick another shock in there with the amount of room. They come with a strike pad for air bumps and have options for sway bar mounts and limit strap mounts.
Starting at $1,150, I think they're actually a practical upgrade for the price.

I saw these the other day and were talking to some friends about them.
What exactly is the point? I've seen trucks get in wrecks where the spindle got completely ripped away and the LCA was fine, so I don't see the point of additional strength. Bump pad is nice but that can be added to any stock arm easily, same with limit strap tabs. So you pay over $1000 and you don't get a uniball, LT, dual shocks, etc.? This also applies to TC and stuff with their stock arms though I've never looked into them. Point being, seems like a lot of dough to spend on essentially a bump pad.

While I won’t be buying these. (Gonna save for LT instead). I’ve cracked two stock LCA’s already. If I knew I’d be staying mid travel, I would definitely consider these. A secondary shock mount would be nice though.
Just found these new cracks last weekend.

Little late to the party but I spoke to Solo about these just after the New Year and they do push the LBJ forward an inch.

I couldn't find evidence of that on their website - is it documented anywhere? It would definitely make these attractive.

Neither could I. I read everything I could find on thee website and saw nothing. I was scrolling through their Instagram, saw mention of it, and figured I’d call and ask. They confirmed that they did move the LBJ forward 1”.
I also asked about the uniball conversion for the LBJ. Same arm does this and the uniball. You can buy this arm now, then buy their spindles with the uniball down the line if that’s you’re ultimate goal. Their spindles also work with and uniball UCA so you don’t need to worry about switching to theirs.
Their bushings are servicable too. They use custom poly bushings from someone local to them. An OEM or any other OEM replacement bushing will not fit in these.

I got that confirmation by email as well just now. 1" forward. Very cool, thinking hard about this!

You and me both. My LCA bushings are shot and LBJs are due. These might make their mix into these repairs.

This is gonna be an expensive rabbit hole but I'm stoked for you.
Have you talked to them about pricing for there 4wd spindle and unibal LBJ/heim steering? I can't find it listed by itself but it is part of the extra options for there mid-travel suspension kit.
Who's uppers are you running now?
