    Following up on this. Had a conversation with some of the Dirt King guys. First off, customer service is top notch as they have answered every email/question I've had. Second off, they are basically protecting them self from the inevitable "you guaranteed such and such tire size". Everyone knows to do anything with these trucks you need to do some work to the the wheel wells, plastic liners and cab mount. With that said, I already have a CMR, pinch weld is done, plastic is trimmed and I have a hammer incase I need to do anymore clearance. LCA and UCA ordered. It'll be late August when I get the parts and do my install. I'll post some pics/install info once I do.

    For anyone with the DK balljoint uppers/lowers. What do your caster numbers look like?

    The only way that these are a measurable upgrade is with uniball frame pivots, so you don’t side load the bushings when setting alignment.

    Dirt King lower control arms three and a half inch lift aluminum bumpers steel sliders 12,000 lb worn winch bad attitude
    I have a set of dirt King lower control arms on my 2010 Toyota 4Runner, I live up in British Columbia Canada and my truck travels across snow and Glaciers 5 to 6 months out of the year. The stock bushings that come with these lower control arms do not like cold weather and seemed wear out rather fast, I just recently had a set of polyurethane bushings custom made and slightly lengthened the install is going to happen this weekend they are excellent lower control arms the bushings are just no good for cold weather.
