^^^^x2......there are only a coupe of companies that make arms for us none of witch are hotchkis. the only companies that make them are western chassis, AIM, DJM, devious customs, barnyard customs, and that's about it. and the worst part is two of those companies don't make them anymore and another two are very poor qualitybrad99rt59 said:

western chassis are the best ones you can get (should be getting mine in two days), then DJM (but they have problems with breaking at the ball joints), then devious or barnyard (but both of those companies will take your money and not send you anything). then chassis tech (which is a set of upper and lower arms)....but personally i would stay a far away from those as possible. they have very bad service, and poor quality product. some people like them , but you could pay me to put those on my dak. so all in all if you want a set of lower arms, go with western chassis, they will last longer than all the others. the only other option besides those is to get someone to make you a custom set of tubular arms.....which is something else i am working on right now, or just rebuild the stockersviperkota said:
Yeah Hotchkis Does not make arms for the Daks, only spring and sway bars. I have a set of the DJM 3" lower arms and I like them. They only thing I don't like about them is the red Porthane bushings they put in them. The bushings like to make noise since they are so stiff.
i've been running my western chassis control arms since february this year. i bought hotchkis tvs with bilstein shocks but decided to go with wc control arms instead of the hotchkis coils. the wc control arms give some negative camber and require you to notch the upper control arm perches about 1/4 inch outward. the alignment shop could not get the laser to work until the wheels had more positive camber.

damn those even have a shock relocator on them.....does your friend have bags? and if you can get them for $100 that a good price for a set of used DJM's.....i payed more for mine. just don't expect them to last all too longSSINate said:Thanks for the feedback guys. The arms are from my friends old R/T and we were always under the impression they were Hotchkis, apparently we were wrong lol. Heres a pic of the arms and the gorgeous truck they are out of.
