Completed the LCA install this weekend and all I have to say is what a PITA! Not sure if other arms come assembled or not but these Mega Bite Jr's were an absolute whip! I do have a question though...before the install I had a very slight whine from the 4.30's at higher speeds...say 75-80 mph...now that seems to be amplified somewhat..could it be because the LCA's are soo much more beefier than the stockers that it is just transmitting the noise more?? Besides that all is good! Thanks for any input...

I hear if you don't grease the bushings or something really good, there is more noise. I am not too sure about it though. Anyways, mine are already assembled awaiting installation, but I fear it will be trouble. How was the actual installation if they would have been assembled???

Overall not too bad. It was a pain getting them lined up with the axle....Make sure you have a couple of floor jacks and 2 pair of jackstands...did you get the Mega Bites as well? If so I suggest using the lower mounting bolt for the best possible traction.

The control arms amplify road noise (smaller polyurethane bushings) through the chassis...nothing to worry about.
