    Got 'em in hand yet? I haven't got any complaints with the original parts but I might have to order a pair of the new cerakote versions for my truck too.

    Dammit. Just put these arms on!

    On another note, on my DS arm there were a couple holes in the powder coat at the welds about the diameter of a thumb tack, like where there was a bubble in the weld and the pc didn't fill it. I'm sure there's a technical name for this but I don't know it. I used a primer pen to close the holes. but not sure if I should worry about it...

    They're not. That's one of the selling points for them

    They're built in for the caster. So any shop can do an alignment with them scratching they're heads.

    Or is higher caster achievable with them? And that's why they're called high caster arms...

    These are designed to provide higher caster numbers right out of the box, no extra adjustment is needed. That's one of the benefits of them, is that alignment techs don't need to do anything special on the truck during an alignment

    I just imagined it rusting from the inside out and snapping a weld with my family in the truck. I think too much sometimes.

    It looks like the coating has a yellow/gold tint in post #2836. Mine are silver metallic. I'll install them and wait and see how they hold up.
