Dirt king?

[Hubermr]

I know everyone points to total chaos but has anyone heard anything good about dirt king? I can’t get a vendor to cooperate with me for some total chaos control arms.

You can't go wrong with either one, I just switched my UCAs from TC to 74weld and love them! Just did 2700 miles through Great Basin Area and they performed spectacular!!! Pricey but well worth it......

I'm a huge fan of Dirt King. They're local to me and I go o er there pretty regularly to check in on them and now run their stuff. They make ridiculously high quality stuff and I have yet to be let down by it. I have their tubular UCA's and their performance lower control arms with the integrated skid plates. I beat the snot out if it all and it's still hanging tough. Pretty sure my stock arms would be toast by now with the hell I put the DK arms through.

Trying to decide on the best non long travel lower control arms. I live in SLC and it will snow one snowflake and they put a years worth of chemical down. So I am always fighting rust

I live right next to the ocean so the air is always salty and moist. The aluminum skid plates on the bottom of the DK arms protect the steel arms from scratches into the powder coat. The powder coat itself is high quality and to this day I have seen zero rust on my lower control arms.

I ended up going total chaos upper and lower control arms. I love in Indiana so bipolar weather. Never had an issue with them!

I actually emailed them last night and they said not till the end of the year at least 6 weeks or more out.

Bummer, but not surprising. Everything is on back order these days.

Try checking with Rogue off-road that’s where I got my total chaos. They might have some in stock!

Which ones for the lowers? I see two versions of the stock length and a hair confused

So one of the powers has a mount for a bypass shock. I would go with the one that doesnt have that mount.

One of the lowers* has a bypass mount. Check out total chaos website and they can give you the part number.

So aftermarket replacements are for strength and more ground clearance with the option to add a secondary shock?

 

[Hubermr]

I wouldn’t say ground clearance. The total chaos have a uniball joint so it’s better articulation. Same as their upper control arms. I got them because they are plated so they are armored already. They just happen to have the ability for a second shock.

How you liking them? I just plan on getting the single shock version.

I’m only running a single shock but I love them! I’m debating taking off the sway bar for my next time out

I don’t run a sway bar. Rides great! Well I ordered the total chaos LCAs! Hurt the wallet so I hope it’s worth it. I am a little bummed because my icon delta joints UCA one of the delta joints is blown out and fairly new and they won’t warranty it because I have bilstein shocks and not icon. So makes me mad enough I want to just get total chaos uppers as well haha

I have total chaos on both UCA and LCA. 100% worth it. Just make sure to follow instructions when installing and get you some PTFE dry lube. It will help the life of the uniball.

I've had a set on for a few months and love em. The guys there are crazy knowledgable and the welds are top notch. 100% glad I went with them.
