    Fellow 1st genners

    (Sacramento CA - local pickup preferred)

    I have my original set of lower control arms with the original bushings complete and still installed. I also have a new, never used set of RED energy suspension LCA bushings. There’s a reason I have these parts and don’t need them, happy to explain if desired. Also have all original bump stops, front and rear for both arms.

    I’m also listing my original sway bar with OEM end links that have about 1.5 weeks of use on them. A Wheeler’s bushing kit for the sway bar is also included, and essentially brand new as well.

    Both the arms and sway bar are from a CA truck (mine) and have no rust.

    I’m listing the sway bar and LCAs at $150 each, ($300 for all of it) given the new parts that go with them both.

    Thanks!

    What did you replace your stock LCAs with if you don't mind me asking

    Just another OEM set I bought from a member on here. I bought his old ones so I could refresh the bushings and not have as much downtime on my truck, which is also my daily driver. His LCAs previously had ES bushing installed, but when I received them they were missing washers, so I installed Whiteline bushings.

    My lower control arms are 100% complete as taken off my truck, and are a great pair to install ES bushings into, which I’m also including. Picture attached are the LCAs I bought with the intention of using the ES bushing, but ultimately went with whiteline due to missing hardware. A problem that won’t bother anyone that acquires my LCAs.

    I hope that all makes sense! Thanks

    Awesome thanks for the info. I was curious what route you went with as my bushings are definitely on their way out the door and I'm debating what route I want to go to remedy that issue.

    I actually saw he had a situation where he needed one upper and one lower control arm. I’d like to at least sell the arms as a pair, because I don’t know who/when I would be able to sell the other one by itself. But if he’s still in a bind, they’re just sitting at my work…

    I think he is good for uppers at this point, but I do understand and would always recommend swapping as a set regardless.

    I like the way you think, and this is what I'm trying to do. My bushings aren't shot yet, I'm just planning ahead. Want to have a spare set that I can clean and paint, and have ready to go. Take the old ones off, install the spare set with new bushings, and back on the road. I've solved my problem with the uppers, and I'm sure that I'll find a set of lowers closer than California, but I'm going to book mark this post just in case.

    Sounds good to me! My bushings weren’t shot either and were still holding my alignment just fine. In fact, the picture I posted was a screen grab from a short video where I was using a long screwdriver to check for play in the bushings, and only one bushing has what my novice self would call a bit of slop. I just wanted to change out all my original 20 year old rubber suspension components. I’m a ‘deal with it before it’s a problem’ kind of guy. Seems you are as well. Hope you find what you need soon. :thumbsup:

    I'd much rather be Proactive that Reactive, and find myself on the side of the road broken down. I replaced my lower BJ exactly for this reason. Just the way I think.

    Parts still available. If someone needs them, make me a reasonable offer.
