Thanks for the info. while doing the axles I installed the RRO upper control arms, Took it in this morning for an alignment. They just called and said it was spot on. If I hear it again I will try reseating everything.

Nice write-up. I'll be waiting for more off-road feedback.
Just a little HiJack but on Topic.
Got my RCV's on Friday, and yep they are heavy.

Thats a generic aftermarket below the RCV's, and a stock shaft under that.
RCV shaft thickness 32.7mm
Aftermarket thickness 27.85mm
Stock Shaft thickness 29.75mm
Weight will have to wait until i can get some batteries for the scales :D
And here some real telling details.

Now my angle gauge is plastic and has more welding spatter holes than i care to comment on, but the angles available are a massive difference even if they are off by a couple. The aftermarket shaft at max angle is not entirely correct as it couldn't maintain that angle when turned but the RCV could. I didnt have any complete factory shafts, but from memory they are very similar to the aftermarket ones when i compared them.
Hoping to have them in with everything else next weekend, and then give them a workout on the 1st September!

great info!! cant wait to see how they hold up :D
Awesome thanks
How are the control arms and axles holding up for you guys??
Hey Matt,
Ive had no issues with either. And with the front and rear driveshafts both being upgraded as well now i'm able to give it some stick when needed.
No noises or vibes from the CV's at all (and they sent me some cool shirts, beanies and flags as well!), and the UCA's are still in top nick, no noises and i can align the front to better than stock.
They have stood up to being bounced on 35's with hard throttle, and climbing rock walls with lots of load on large angles.
Im happy :D

Glad to hear that! I just put my RRO arms last weekend, aligned nicely. I ended up getting different dust boots because I didnt like how they doubled them up.
