First is the Western Chassis 2" lower control arms.

These arms are 4130 chromoly and come with new bump stops, end links and new ball joints.

Here is the Western Chassis rear kit. Adjustable hangers, shackles and C-notch.
Again, top quality materials, bushings and welds.

Here we have the DJM control arms.



DJM does NOT include the ball joints with their lower control arms.

Installation pics soon

Hey Rob which control arms do you think are the best, and how much are they?

I just got done installing the DJM lower control arms on my truck. Tomorrow on go the upper DJM arms. The reason I'm installing the DJM parts is because the Western Chassis stuff just doesn't fit as well as DJM. I had a long day of test fitting both lower control arms and the Western Chassis stuff needs shims and more fabrication work. The DJM arms just bolt right up without fuss.

Thanks Rob. How much did they set you back?

George,

Both companies charge around $350.00 for the arms. Stay tuned for install pics coming tomorrow. Western Chassis shipped out a different set of arms today so perhaps they will fit better than the pair I have. I really like the build quality of the Western Chassis product compared to the DJM parts but I'll have to see what I get tomorrow. Later.

I had the DJM lower arms on a '98 F150 I had along with drop coils. 5" drop overall. Anyways the DJM components fit very well. The only thing I had a problem with was pressing the OE ball joints into the DJM arms. I had to grind a little off one end of the ball joint hole to get the C clip to fit. It made the ball joint to short for the C clip to put on.

Lemme know how everything works out rob.
