Here is the link.

This language from the listing would bother me a little.

"Super blow out sale sold as is. You make them work special. No questions please this is the you make it work special for only 100.00 "

What does he mean by you make it work and no questions. Do they not fit or what? For the price I guess you could afford to do a little work on them.

Lol yeah I agree,thy look like the same arms my be a little different on the lower arm. I think it's a knock off.

I purchased mine from Mcgaughys in Madera Ca and are steamed with name. I'll post some pics let me know what you guys think. The welds look good, I haven't in stilled yet.

Any feed back on my arms would be great

I don't know, with them being as cheap as they are, would reinforcing all the weld joints and adding a quality set of ball joints be worth while? If I were looking for a set of tubulars I might give them a shot.

It seems a lot of the issues related to the tubular arms are the joint of the tube to the bushing area. So people and some manufacturers are welding a diamond shaped doubler over that joint top and bottom. The other issue was ball joint quality, not an issue in this case.

I'm worried about the composition of the steel. Could be Chineseium.
