    Finally a replacement LCA from TOTAL CHAOS that features urethane bushings and a secondary tab for dual shock capability. Want to retain you sway-bar? no problem! The secondary shock tab allows you to reinstall your sway bar for better cornering stability when not installing dual 2.5-inch shocks.


    https://www.chaosfab.com/product/19...eries-Stock-Length-Lower-Control-Arms-96555-E

    Maximize the upgrade by adding the TOTAL CHAOS lower ball joint uniball conversion. Will work with stock ball joints.
    Stock length heim tie-rod upgrade COMING SOON!

    @TOTAL CHAOS

    A question for those keeping to mid-travel only, does this arm do anything to move the wheel at all?

    Solo Motorsports stock-replacement LCA's move the wheel forward 1" which aids in clearance for larger tires before having to perform a pinch weld mod.

    This is a great question and seems to have been missed by the OP. Do these arms add any caster?

    Was genuinely curious because I think it's cool to see new products available for an old platform, but would like to see some real benefit with said product.

    Possibly going back to a Tacoma and pretty much know what I'm doing this time around; when new stuff becomes available I need to figure out if it benefits me or not (and others by asking openly on here).

    Weird to post on social media but not on their actual page. That's an extremely minor change and an alignment can make up for this.

    Thought of this :laughing:

    It wasn't technically announced since someone on the comments asked. Haha

    Yes the arm moves it 1/4-3/8". The reason we kept it this way was to retain factory alignment specs.

    The OEM specs you reference were designed for a no lift scenario. It is difficult to understand why folks who use these LCAs would want to use them at stock ride height.

    All of our stock replacement LCA's are designed this way. We use them on our shop and personal vehicle which obviously have been lifted as well. The typical stock length user wants to retain factory alignment as it's the way the vehicle is designed to operate and gives the user the best ride and performance.
