Ordered the Total Chaos race lower control arms the other day, awaiting shipment.
With this i will need to extend my front bump stops a bit to make up for the differences. So while i install these ill drop the coilover out and cycle the suspension for tire rubbing at full tuck. Instead of buying pre made expensive spacers that come in various sizes i ordered a 1/2" and 1/4" sheets of UHMW to cut my own spacers out of for desired bump height. This comes out far cheaper than the pre made as i already have the hole saw bit.
I will update once i receive the LCAs as well as install photos.

Lol I've been worried about my LCAs for months. These things have been cracking on people left and right lately. I don't want to take that chance.
These are the +2 arms? How does that work with just replacing the stock lowers? Unless I missed something I don't get how one set of uppers could work with both length lower arms?
Good choice either waymg:
Gonna be ready to mash dunes like crazy
They're stock length lowers.
I had a deal for a full +2 kit but the dude backed out so I just bought these after.
I will measure once I install them for a good number. The +2 gets gets 11", +3.5 kit gets 13" so I'd imagine roughly 9-10" of travel. But I'll do some photos and measure from full tuck to full droop.
we have been using HDIP i believe instead of uhmw very similar but HDIP is cheaper. just do you see it as an option.
