In the market for extended control arms for my 2001 with carli starter kit, so far my two choices are metalcloak MC-8001 @ $550 or top gun customz SKU:2844024 @ $270, just curious what everyone is running / suggests. Pros and cons, thanks!

Bump for some more experienced input. I'm also going with the carli starter kit route, I've also been looking at the DOR bent control arms (running 3rd gens on 35x12.5's) or the flight fabrication control arms. Leaning towards the DOR arms so I don't have to run wheel spacers. My previous 01 I had a buddy make a set of 1/2" control arms, nothing special about them and they were great. I was clearing 35x12.5's on a 20x12 -44 with only a 2.5" level.

Stock and happy with it.

I just installed some last week I had a 2.5 leveling kit and it rubbed with my 35s installed them and no more rub. I ordered them off eBay for 270 out the door. Seemed like they were nicely built with polyurethane and grease zerks. Welds looked good. I believe they were only 2 inches longer than stock.

Stock and no front end issues or steering box issues. 338k and still smiling. Still straight as an arrow.

If I were to get new control arms I’d go metal cloak.
