    Bump! ..... I mean at the price would you go for it or is there a "just as adjustable" option?

    Never seen them before, looks way better than the adjustable ball joint on the SPC.

    They are a tad pricey, but it looks like its worth it.

    I would coat the living hell out of the adjustable sleeve though.

    Agreed, They def look like something that would need to be cleaned, checked and lubricated more often than some others. And like you said, lots of "never seize" on assembly, for sure.

    Agreed..... but I've also haven't seen control arms this adjustable without it being Heim joints. And for a daily driven truck I'd rather have a rubber isolated joint like this. I dunno. It's def a lot of money to drop.

    how often you plan on adjusting them really though? not worth the high cost imo. i went with jbas for half the price and have no complaints. spc would be my 2nd choice for a daily.

    They look okay. I'd still rather have my JBA's than these though. Greasable everything, preset to the caster you actually want and easily replaceable bushings.
