Kit doesn't have control arms. Geometry is corrected by drop brackets. It works well too.

For control arms, would I have to get front and rear uppers and lowers?

wouldnt get them unless you felt like you needed them. people run 4" of lift without control arms

Are the drop brackets designed for the upper and lowers? I think i see the part on the image on their website and from what i gather, its one part that ends up dropping the top and bottom control arm.

Also, how long have you been running the kit and any input on the overall quality/ ability/ satisfaction?


(I think a 7 month dead-thread period is long enough to justify hi-jacking it!)
