Possibly a much cheaper substitution to Camburg/Icon Uniball Control Arms?

Sorry for the crap pics I took with my iPhone. This is what I got in the mail.
The good: They're heavy and much stronger than you would think. All necessary parts were included.
The bad: They're blue with metallic flake and I don't remember getting the option of color best I can recall. The picture on eBay was silver. It may have been there and I did not notice it. I know a great powdercoat shop anyhow. Also, a snap ring on one of them had broken eyes. Should be easy enough to source a new snap ring to replace it. No worries there. It did not come with installation instructions so I will provide a detailed installation guide with pics.
The welds on these are a little bit sloppy, but I took a look around on the net and saw that the welds are not much different than the welds on both Camburg and Total Chaos uniball UCA's. The bushings appear to be capable of handling the load of the truck. Each arm comes with zerk fittings so that the bushings can be greased. I need to get a grease gun and some good poly grease.
Remember this, the purpose of this is to experiment with this off brand UCA. I don't care if the results are great or if they fail miserably. I will be providing constructive and meaningful criticism of these parts.

I've been looking at pretty much the same thing on ebay, but I'm cautious on getting the kit. But its so much cheaper than a camburg kit, and I believe rough country has some ucas that look beefy but are pricey aswell. Keep us posted on how the go, I'm very interested in seeing how it works out.
