    That's a fair enough response... I should've anticipated that answer

    Fair to say about 8lbs each as the package was +17lbs

    I only ordered the rear lowers as I already have a Sonoran Steel panhard bar.

    Badass; never knew you were at a fab shop.

    Funny to see these bolt on upgrades are just peanuts compared to the stuff they'd do in-house.

    I had decided to look up Resz Fabrication a bit more today after finally receiving my links only to see the shop is really popular among FJ Cruiser owners.

    Heck, there were even threads about going from Metal Tech arms to Resz because there were reports about the Metal Tech's breaking even.

    One thing that was echoed a ton was, Resz Fab's extremely long wait times since it's a really small shop and one guy makes all the popular parts they sell.

    Have a link to these threads/report? I have MT upper/lower rear control arms sitting in my cart. Was planning on calling tomorrow to see what the lead times are. Really like the fact that they use Johnny joints and are made to articulate WAY more than stock. Also adjustable to correct pinion angle and center the wheel in the well.

    I had just run into 2-3 threads while looking up orientation and how people liked them; it was by accident as I just looked up Resz rear lower control arms.

    @Gen1FTMFW

    If I were you I wouldn't hesitate buying Metal Tech.

    I went Resz Fab just to stay away from the joints seeing as how I daily my 4R.

    If it was a straight crawler, joints all the way.

    Gotcha.

    Original plan was to just replace all the stock bushings with a kit from Energy. Got halfway through the bushing replacement and figured out they sent the wrong parts. Bushings are all correct, but the sleeves are way too big.

    Instead of returning/exchanging the kit and risking getting the wrong shit again, I said fuck it and decided to just buy new shit. Trying to get something pretty quick cause the GX is sitting in the garage in pieces.
