Default Weight savings with UMI chromoly A-Arms?

Anybody got these nonadjustable and chromoly?

Just wondering how much weight will come off the front if I throw these on?

BTW, how did you like 'em?

Hello,

The kit with upper and lower A-Arms is 2.5lbs lighten in chrome moly than mild steel.

If we can help anymore please ask.

Thank you!

I got that, that's on the site. But that's 2.5 lbs with left, right, upper, and lower?

How much over stock is what I'm wondering.

That is what chrome moly saves you for the total kit. I will list the savings over stock below.

Lowers only, mild steel- 8lbs

Lowers only, chrome moly- 9-9.5lbs

Upper/Lower, mild steel- 9lbs

Upper/Lower, chrome moly- 11.5lbs

Hope that helps,
Ryan

Sorry I might of been confusing. Those weights above are total for the complete kit... so the complete upper and lower kit in chrome moly is 11.5lbs total of weight savings. Now if you go with a different shock and spring such as a QA1 set-up you can get another 10lbs

Oh ok, well I'll be going that route too. Still that's a good bit.

See this as well please.
