If it bothers you you can drop that end of the arm and pry it back into place, but I would just run it as is.

I was thinking of just running it as is. Going to change over to long arm some time in the late future.

Its not the arm I don't think, its mainly the bracket thats bent to shit.

Man, you whacked it pretty good! You would have to hammer the flange a bit straighter to drop the control arm joint, but I'm with swampdog, you can probably run it as is. Doesn't look like it is binding.

I did not notice anything while driving, I had it on the lift at full droop and did not seem like anything was stopping or nor any grinding that I could hear.

You should have no problem setting your rig up with Evo's long arms and running the springs of your choice.
That way you can do what you want later in the way of longer springs or coil overs and the arms will already be done.
Yes they are a lot beefier than the factory ones. :thumb:
I slid a good sized stump all the way down my rear control arm and the banged the Rock Star skid very freaking hard the other day. Really was expecting to see some kind of damage. Nope not a bit. Just picked the wood out from the front of the bracket and will have to repaint the bottom sometime before the rainy season hits again.
I have drug the front bracket (like you damaged) all over rocks and the have not even started to bend.
