Trail Master adjustable control arms
Just ordered a set of front adjustable LCAs from Trail Master. Spoke with Kevin, who was very nice and helpful, and got a great deal.
Since there is not yet a lot of feedback here on their products, I will post updates on the process and pics of install once I get receive the LCAs. From what I was told, they are using the same joints as Rock Krawler, and using all high quality materials in the construction.
I'm really looking forward to correcting my caster.

Its really bumpy and flighty. I've done all the minor adjustments I can with toe in, tire pressure, and I want to get all the geometry correct and get the ride as good as it should be.

I received the control arms today. They look heavy duty and ready to go.
Do you have to use an angle finder for installation, or can someone with a similar setup give me their LCA length to start with?
There are no zirks, just plugs with allen wrench head... I assume I need to replace those with zirks?
If anyone has any words of advice before I install these tomorrow, feel free to share.
Will update tomorrow with side by side pics and install notes.

Setum 23" eye to eye. Oh, those are Rockrawler joints. They dont use grease.Take the allen bolt out and put a few drops of 3in1 oil in them, reintall allen bolts. Think they reccommend every oil change to do it.

Finished the install. It was fairly easy. Bolts were really tight, and I used a ratchet strap to line up the holes. I have them at 23" long right now and it handles much better. I havent measured the actual angle.
Definitely worth it.
Nice control arms, too.
