Zabo you aren't going to find the total chaos Uca's for a cheaper price than the ford ones. If so the people selling them must be strapped for crack money.

All I saw was hill control equipped and non-hill control equipped? Any other F-150 models have hill descent control besides the Raptor?

Regarding the Total Chaos Upper control arms, Ford upper control arms are $170 ea ($340 for the pair), but I saw those on eBay for $700 for the pair. No argument that Chromoly is made to take a beating, but I thought the argument was it cost less, does anybody know of a place where the Total Controls are less than the Ford stock price of $340 (available at fordparts.com)?
Think about it like this, you can pay the $700 once and never worry about replacing them, or keep buying $340 control arms everytime they wear out.
