I got my uppers from Summit and had the factory lowers powder coated to match as I didn't really like the aftermarket LCA's

I know it is not much, But what do you think the weight difference is between the stock and aftermaket arms?

box what you got and stay away from after marks as when its lowered one nick at the mall and it 500 besides some cause real alinement probs, find good used and get them done the way you like them then when your ready its a days job to do the whole thing ,less down time,ps stay away from grey/silver por15 it turns a weird yellow

This is a drag race truck, Want to lower it a little in the front and shed some weight as well. will not see much street time maybe 500-750 miles a year. thinking about the djm arms
