Front Lower Control Arm Bracket Recommendations

[Jay MacLeay]

I'm looking for recommendations for front lower control arm brackets. I saw these Arctec brackets, but wondering if it's worth the price. I'd rather buy once and cry once.

I'd love to hear what everyone is running and how they're working for you.

Artec makes poorly designed heavy clunky junk. Their control arm brackets have a nearly vertical face instead of a ramped face. Use Iron Rock Offroad brackets instead.

Agree. I can attest to the steep angles Artec has. They were on my Hpd30 for a number of years. There are better options like @jjvw posted.

I've been happy with Barnes stuff.

Instructions are great too.

Do they tell you how to mark the location of the stock mount and then retain that mark after you grind all the weld away?

So only okay instructions then?

The gap between vendor instructions and making it work puts food on our table. Well that and people not taking the time to read the instructions or think for themselves.
