Who has the heaviest duty rear control arms. I’m looking for upper and lower and prefer non-adjustable.
I just put a set of Wit’s End Landtank lowers on my 80. They are huge. Definitely the beefiest I’ve seen.
I wouldn’t recommend them in terms of customer service or quality control. It took 10 weeks and four pretty harsh emails to get them. Landtank still produces them and Joey hadn’t submitted the order to Landtank 6 weeks after my invoice date from Wits End, and he hadn’t paid Landtank for them until 8 weeks after I ordered them. So they were sitting at Landtank ready to go, but Rick didn’t release them because he had not been paid for them. I learned all this from direct communication with Rick from Landtank.
Then when they arrived, I had to replace two of the bushings that weren’t installed flush or straight and were actually flared on the ends because someone just didn’t give a shit when they put them in. For $450 with the bushings, I expected more.
I understand all that and I was sympathetic until I saw the amount of time he was spending posting to Instagram how cool his shit is, and developing new products, all while claiming being non-responsive because of his wife’s cancer. He has plenty of time for social media self promotion but not for actual customers.FYI that Joey and his wife are battling her cancer (he's posted to FB) and has been impacted by the fires earlier this year and USPS delays. I hope Rick (Landtank) explained.
I've been leaning towards these.... I'm not a big fan of adjustable arms. That being said, how often do you need to readjust the uppers?I have the blackhawk ones, they are beefy and the lowers are 11mm longer to center the axle.
The uppers are adjustable but they are adjustable on the truck and I'm sure you will want to dial in your pinion anyways..
Should just set once and then lock them down with the jam nuts.I've been leaning towards these.... I'm not a big fan of adjustable arms. That being said, how often do you need to readjust the uppers?

Agree Jackson. Locktite doesn't seem to do the trick, even for my SLEE front panhard. It was coming loose just about every hard wheeling trip. Most of these jam nuts require just a tack weld that can be ground/cut off if necessary for later adjustment.I’m with ya. Most adjustable uppers I see in the shop are loose. Just by their motion they are trying to tighten and loosen all the time. My suggestion for adjustable uppers is to dial them in and then weld them.
