No alignment issues at all. The only challenge was adjusting to the new feel initially, but it’s worth it! Less body roll is noticeable too.

I’m curious about the installation. Is it something a DIY person could manage, or should I seek professional help?
It can definitely be a DIY job if you’re handy, but some instruction and tools definitely help. Just take your time with the adjustment.
What kind of tools are need for the install? I usually shy away from big jobs like this because of tool requirements.

You’ll need standard mechanic tools like wrenches, sockets, and possibly a torque wrench. A friend’s help could make it a lot easier too!
Good idea! I’ll grab a friend for sure! So, does anyone feel like the price justifies the performance gain?
Definitely! I feel like the price is justified when you consider the handling improvements alone. I’m a happy camper.
I found them a bit pricey too, but after installing them, I’d say they’re worth every penny! Improved geometry is no joke on rugged terrain.

I did some comparisons before purchasing, and found Old Man Emu had much better reviews compared to their competitors. It’s why I opted for them!
I’ve heard great things about Old Man Emu upper control arms! They seem to provide better articulation off-road compared to stock options. I’m curious to see how they compare against others like Falcone or Icon.
Absolutely! I’ve been using Old Man Emu for over a year now, and I love the ride quality. Worth every penny. However, I wonder how they hold up against something like Icon, which also gets some rave reviews.

I’ve compared various options, and while Old Man Emu is solid, they can be pricier than some budget brands like Rough Country. It’s all about what you prioritize: cost or durability.
Very true! My friend swears by them for the durability, but if you’re on a budget, there are still decent alternatives. People seem very satisfied with them overall.

Old Man Emu has a good reputation. I’ve heard from many users who take their rigs off-road frequently. Any personal experiences with how they perform in harsh conditions?
I’ve taken mine through some tough trails, and they’ve held up nicely. Very little wear and tear after a year. Plus, the added articulation is noticeable!
So, I’m about to pull the trigger on some upper control arms. Would you say they’re worth it over a cheaper option?
Definitely! If you value quality and longevity, Old Man Emu is a wise investment. Cheaper options might save money now, but could lead to more costs later.
I’m curious about the installation process. Are these upper control arms easy to install, or do I need to go to a shop?
They are pretty straightforward! If you’re handy, you can do it yourself with basic tools. By the way, shop labor can add a lot to that total cost!
