Default Rock Krawler or Daystar Lower Control Arms, opinions?

Has anybody ran the Rock Krawler or Daystar Lower Control arms? If so, were you satisfied or do you regret the purchase? These seem to be the cheapest two options at:

Rock Krawler $260/includes shipping
Daystar $282/includes shipping

As I know, you usually get what you pay for, I just wanted to get some opinions.

Should be installing my RK kit soon, definitly a better product than daystar. Solid as hell. Also, they are prebent upwards to allow for more clearance.

I am running RK. Their joints are lubed with 3 in 1 oil and have tighter tolerances in the joint and keeps out grime more than Johnny joints. They have better clearance and are solid not DOM tubing.

I have never had RK or Daystar lifts, so I can't speak from experience on either one.

Of the two I would recommend RK. I see a lot of RK owners post here, and they are very loyal to their brand, and Rock Krawler is a sponsor to this forum and posts here all the time in support of their product.

Rarely see a Daystar post.

I am big on supporting sponsors. Go with RK

I vote RK. I have never used or seen either, but I did have a day star level kit way back, and I wasn't impressed with it. The TF one I got after that was way better. My daystar dash pad rocks though!!
I run TF front lca's. RK has a great reputation here.
