Just installed UMI Lower Control Arms.

I just got done installing my UMI LCA's. It was a pretty straight-forward installation. Only took about an hour and didnt have any problems. The bolts were a little bit of a pain but nothing I couldnt get loose with a lil American muscle. Had to take a wrench and put pressure on one end of the LCA and push it forward in order to get the second bolt in on each of the LCA's. But it wasnt that big of a deal. Taking the wheels off will get you alot more room to work with so I recommend doing so. I tightened everything up and took it for a short spin. I didnt get a chance to test them very good but I did a few punches from a stop and I have to say it feels MUCH better so far. Usually I would have hella wheel hop from a stop but now its reduced to a very small amount. I am pretty happy so far with the outcome. I recommend them highly if you are having some wheel hop issues. I picked mine up off a ebay for about $100 and they are worth every penny so far. If you have any questions just ask. Peace. Dustin.

Its a pretty easy swap. The bolts were the only hard part for me as well. Nothing a little PB Blaster and a breaker bar can't handle though.

How long did it take to recieve your LCAs? I guess UMI is behind, but its been 2 weeks and my LCAs and PHB haven't even shipped yet. But mine are coming right from UMI and mabye your ebay seller had them in stock.

Good to hear that you are happy with them, I'm looking foward to recieving mine

Mine also came straight from UMI. I did have to wait about a week before they shipped. They said due to the time of year they were in high demand and they were on back-order.
