I just saved you almost $1260.
You don't need all of those things.
You don't need the lower control arm kit unless yours are damaged or rusted.
Adjustable strut rods???? No. Try urethane strut rod bushings.
Pitman arm? Those rarely go bad.

Those upper control arms have Heim joints...They are terrible for the street. Noisy and harsh riding.

OH ****!



What about Bilstein shocks?

LCA was recommended by a friend of mine. Home garage mechanic but he did look at it and he is experienced on old mopars.

The problem with this is that it handles like **** and the front end shakes at like 50mph. Like I have to almost white knuckle it to keep it stable.

I assess these parts based on the threads here and the Haynes manual (pic above)
