I've been considering SPL more than anything, just wondering if those were any good. that package with SPL is $120 more.

The SPL RUCA have arms on both sides. These would probably be lighter, but I would imagine the SPL's are stronger under extreme conditions.

Those actually look really good, I have to be honest. They appear to be using the same type of rod end as cusco, which are very similar to QA1 rod ends.



Edit: On second glance, those welds look very iffy, but then again, I have never seen a single aftermarket s-chassis suspension arm fail at the weld. The cheap ones usually fail at the rod end, or occasionally the piping will split.

I had some rucas like those before. Then someone hit me on the passenger side rear wheel and bent all of my suspension. The rucas crumbled and the other stock pieces bent as well and my shock was bent too. Now I have cusco thanks to the body shop not knowing what they were ordering, woohooo. I will not get anything of that quality again because of the thinner metal that is used. The cusco is so much thicker. But I am glad that I had the cheap ones on when I was in the wreck or my car might have been totaled, lol.

i heard Orange Tree is same ppl who make Battle Version [Alex Pfeifer]. So cant be that bad.

Now, is a traction rod really that important to pay another $100+... or just the ones that really matter for alignment [toe rod and RUCA]?

Replacing your traction rod will be help keep the suspension precise. Buy it...don't wuss out over a couple hundred dollars.
