you can also look on dezertrangers classifieds for the deavers. i have got most my stuff from there and race-dezert.

Upper control arm bracket pics

This is what the UCA bracket looks like when I dissasembled it. I was informed the arms i got came assembled(bushings in and brackets on) from blazeland and usually have to be put together by the buyer. Nate from blazeland told me that the ones he sent me were used for a demo and thats why they came assembled. You can see that these things are BEEFY. I'm impressed.....
