Both companies are great. Ridetech just kills me on the pricing of some of their stuff though & the costs are only going higher in the next few weeks (annual price increases will hit come Jan 1st).

I agree. I like RT, but they are spendy. That being said, don't even look at Hotchkis control arms lol. But by the time you add the $89 coil spring retainer and $130 ball joints to the PB arms, the RT aren't much more. Plus PB doesn't include shipping anywhere I can find. I know of a couple retailers that do 10% off of RT advertised price and free shipping. Even though advertised base price is 50% more on Ridetech, loaded/shipped cost is almost identical. Plus Ridetech comes painted or powder coated or whatever.

Understood. I replaced Ridetech arms w/Narrowed PB's. The RT arms I have are from the very 1st batch of 'Cool Ride' arms they built a 'few' years ago.

U Tube. There’s a bit more to it than just bolt on. For instance a Plasma Cutter comes in real handy. And you’ll most likely go over your $3000 budget
I have QA1 full system on my 70 and really like them

I did all qa1 front and rear. I’m over 5k
