No ball joints best in my review

Cons
  • May not provide as much clearance as other suspension modifications

Easy Upper Ball Joint Install

Use these on my 2004 Duramax. It helped with the leveling kit to make the ride better. These upper a arms are awesome! Easy to install. But remember to get a alignment immediately after install.

Pros
  • ‎Kryptonite Products
Cons
  • May decrease overall comfort and ride quality

Basically no warranty after jumping thru all there hoops

Wait until you need to warranty out! I had to make 3 trips to the alignment shop for pictures then videos and they still won't warranty. The ball joints have in and out play. They will not swap them out. That's the main reason I bought them was for this "warranty". Thanks Josh at Kyptonite for ripping people off!

Pros
  • No place for sensor cables. Otherwise great performance so far
Cons
  • May cause increased wear and tear on other suspension components

Absolutely love these control arms.

Night and day difference in steering, ride quality. Truck handles so much better. Went from stock to these awesome control arms. Built solid and bushings are super nice. Allowed extra camber to get truck aligned perfectly. Went on a 99 GMC 2500 with 6 inch lift and 37s. No issues at all. Easy to install. Thanks Kryptonite!

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • May cause uneven tire wear if not installed properly

Buy once cry once on my review.

Perfect fit. Excellent quality hardware and craftsmanship.One trivial critique is the Kryptonite emblems are peeling off already. They are semi rigid stickers. A clear decal would suffice.

Pros
  • Was a great option instead of replacing with OEM
Cons
  • High price point might not be affordable for some

Quality. Period. From start to finish

I can't recall the last time if ever I have received any auto part that was as well packaged, comprehensively thought out and we'll documented as this. Quality from starter to finish and looks amazing. The install instructions are color, glossy, in english, printed on heavy stock that stands up to greasy hands and double sided single sheet for ease of use. No less thought was applied to any portion. The ball joints and bumpstops are quality pieces and easy to replace with parts that are readily

Pros
  • Very good product and it’s fit perfect
Cons
  • May affect the drivability of the vehicle

Definitely upgrade, but purchase from authorized retailers

These upper control arms and components are a huge step up from worn oem stuff since the pickups was assembled 2002. Biggest advice is to make sure your purchasing from an authorized retailer so you can register the warranty

Pros
  • Easy to install and look well-built
Cons
  • May not provide significant performance improvements for the average driver

Full Hassle warranty!

Worse customer service. Bought this kit from their website and they want video proof and failure etc. I have Powerstop brakes and AirLift bags. Those companies know customer service! Replaced far more expensive parts without question.

Pros
  • Bad ass set up!
Cons
  • Non-adjustable control arms limit customization options

Not worth the $$ on my review.

For well over $500, these should have a way to mount the ABS sensor and hardware for the brake lines included. Did not significantly improve upper ball joint angles.

Pros
  • Very nice product. Super easy to assemble, packaged very nicely, works well.
Cons
  • Requires alignment after installation, adding to cost and time spent
