PLEASE HELP!!!!! I am getting ready to purchase a set of the hd maximum motorsports lower control arms. I was wanting to know how much noise there will be over stock control arms or will there be no real difference.

I have no noise at all. Use spring isolaters and you are fine.

Exactly, follow the directions and use the prothane grease that comes with them. And make sure you install the poly sleeves on the body side.
