Anyone try these Freedom Offroad upper control arms?


It says OE ball joint so I am assuming they are simply longer for leveled rigs or does the ball joint look like other name brand UCAs?

 

Imported parts with 14yrs experience? :
Freedom Off-Road was formed for and by for automotive enthusiasts! With 14+ years experience in the performance and OE replacement suspension parts manufacturing, design and distribution we saw a gap in the market for quality built affordable off-road suspension parts. In 2012 we formed our off-road division which came to be known as Freedom Off-Road.

 

looking at the arms I don't see how they support any more travel than the stock arms,

If you take a look at the Cognito/Kryptonite arms you can see the upper arm does not come straight off the pivot point, it goes up then out. This set up gives you more travel by moving the upper arm contact point with the travel limiter higher along with changing the ball joint angle to better handle the new angle of the UCA.

I've haven't researched these arms, just going off of what I see in the pictures.

Yes.... and so?

 

I drive with confidence knowing what's under me. I would never install a fly-by-night distributor's "affordable" part on my Hummer! Btw,my briefs have more experience.

 

Good info, thanks everyone. Always get what you pay for and in regard to front suspension, I'd rather pay a little more for higher quality and market proven parts!

 

Yes, don't be cheap on your safety! My UCA's are still oem and tight, yet when It comes the time for replacement, I will do a lot of research, before replacement! Originally, when looking at those arms you posted, I noticed a smaller tubular design with welded on plates. .. Spend a little more for proven, well designed/built uca's, yet, still search for the best price. I'm impressed with kryptos serviceable/replaceable bj's, an upgrade oem! After you get the parts, when ready to install, include an assistant, to reduce any pain:
