    I've got a bad lower control arm bushing on the passenger side and one that is not too far behind on the driver side. After speaking with a few mechanics, they unanimously suggested I replace the entire arm rather than just the bushing. 2008 TRD Tundra has a 2.5 inch lift, 1 inch wheel spacers and am running 275 tires. Does anyone have any recs on LCA's that will hold up to off-roading? Is this a OEM or nothing type of part?

    I would say from very recent and very unfortunate series of events with my lower control arms, I can confirm it’s either you go OEM or Dirt king.
    Not saying other brands can’t/wont work but I went through a Napa and autozone arm before going with a OEM arm in the end. A lot of the aftermarket’s don’t line up that well based on my experience and research
