which ones are you looking at? The weight jackers or just the HD lowers?I went with the BBK lowers, I don't have them installed, but i've been told that they should have been 1 of my first mods. LCA's along with some sticky tires will help drastically

Yes the lower control arms will definitely help. Get some good uppers and install them all at the same time and it should help out with traction problems.

I just bought some of their Weightjacker billet aluminum lca's. I haven't installed them yet, but they are definately high quality parts! The ride height adjustability is what I like about them. $150 is a good price for any of the Steeda lca's IMO.

maximum motorsports doesn't think much of uppers... it based on their thoughts of 4 link articulation. they suggest leaving ours alone & just replacing the RUBBER bushings when needed.

of course i have no idea really as i have only read this stuff... however, they seem reputable & track test their stuff.

No need to change out the uppers in just the lowers. In some cases changing the uppers in negatively impact your corners ability from what I have heard. How is your vortech with the 4.10s. You must be at boost or near it when is it needed because of your gearing. Any regrets with those gears and FI. What are you putting down for numbers?
