Default Drop A-arms ?

Hello. I'm looking to drop my truck I'm thinking about using drop A-arms but I live in Michigan and am wondering about how they hold up to the dreaded rust. Any input would be help. Thanks

the are powdercoated but i really dont like the finish. I usually paint over it with a few coats of semi gloss back rustoleum just protects it better and looks better

Yes but I would like some input from members who have had them in the rust belt. My 2007 had rust and corrosion issues with a lot of the stuff I put on my truck. I had a set of train horns that did not take the winter well also I had a light bar under my tailgate that corroded and quit working twice. So I've gotta be carful on the stuff I put on my truck. I want these things to last as long as my truck.

I had the DJM one for 2 years and still looking good.
powdercoat peeled off at couple of place(sharp edge) but they are still very good.

I live in montreal.

I sold them to Deemo here on the forum that live in toronto, maybe he will chime in.

rustproofing every year is the key!
