yeah, the price is a bit steep, really. looks cool tho and would look good on a pimpy truck, just not adjustable as previously stated, which lets it down a bit!! :shtgn:

nah...they have a lifetime guarantee against breakage and bending...

if my alluminum arms fail me, I'm planning on going that route....

also, I've seen them for $240-ish...can't remember where though...I'll have to bookmark it next time I see it...

I still run the stock arms I have only broke 1 of them in a year .. I do bash my truck hard maybe just get lucky...... If u buy thoes arms and hit something yea they wont brake or bend but it will brake other things....

I have seen many good reviews on these arms...only thing I think they should do is make some hinge pins to go along with them. That is the cheapest I have seen them besides ebay every once and a blue moon.

They look pretty cool but not at that price. Stock is cheaper to replace.

i know ti is lovely ( i rode a ti mountain bike, beautiful!) but shurely the fact that they arent adjustable is a bit silly, i think so, as i like to tinker quite a lot!! :eyecrazy:

Lunsford sells the Ti hinge pins. Those I do like. Every once in awhile I will pull the pins and use mothers polish to clean them up.

how many sets of srock arms would i be able to break before i had spent emough to buy a set of the ti ones (granted they look smart) but a bit extreme i think also a to of people with the ally arms have broke bulkheads and so on due to the arms being so much stiffer than stock so surely these ti ones would have the same problems i bet the lifetime guarantee does cover failure of these other parts !!!!

Just buy a set of RPM arms-thay also have a lifetime guarantee. :)
