They wouldn’t be better than either one of these, and they are more expensive.

I haven’t heard good things about Rusty’s.

I have the Evo Enforcer lift with Evo control arms. I strongly believe in Evo. I was just curious as to the design that Rusty’s have. And wanted to see what the actual design and thought behind their control arms. [emoji106]

It’s a radius arm design. [emoji107]

This ^^^^

Radius arms "were" a good idea back in the TJ days and they helped address issues they were having with long arm designs. Why you would purposefully install a short arm version of this on a JK is beyond me.

4 links are better than 2, for redundancy. If for some reason I have a failure on one of my control arms I can still get home. With radius arms you don’t have that luxury.

You mean a control arm or mount can break? :shock: :cheesy: :crazyeyes:

^^^ This, I have seen my fair share of Rusty's products in Puerto Rico. One of the biggest shops locally is a close friend of Rusty and will try to sell you on all of his stuff. Some of the stuff doesn't look that bad, but this screams bad idea. You break one of those arms and it's Roadside assistance for you.

Not only do they lack redundancy, but the setups i have seen bind like crazy and make a whole bunch of noise

The way these look to function, I’m no expert, it makes sense that they would bind and limit motion.

What could you possibly mean? There are plenty of things made that extend out and are braced with a truss. You know, things like a cantilevered deck or balcony - bridges too.

Just the kind of thing you'd want for big bind free flex :cheesy:
