Re: 311 Billet CNC Steering Arms and New Design Lower Ball Joints
Apex charged me sales tax on the shipping charge....and shipping was more than double what the box actually cost to ship. Not happy.
My junk pile:
71 Jeep Gladiator. Restored w/#s matching engine. My WeeBeasty
70 1600 legit 2nd owner. Stroked and bored
Several salvaged w access to a barn full of parts, part cars & whole cars
......What's in the barn is for sale. What do you need?

State by state issue. In general yes, but it's pretty rare that a company does charge tax for shipping.

Semi related, I know one Vender appears to charge sales tax based on their cities tax rate which is well above my cities for shipped product. Not sure if that is how it's supposed to work? (think not)

Re: 311 Billet CNC Steering Arms and New Design Lower Ball Joints
Can one use the steering arms and not install new ball joints?

Re: 311 Billet CNC Steering Arms and New Design Lower Ball Joints
I figure I should give a review of the LBJ and their customer service. LBJ is built like a tank. The coating is thick and needed to be filed down for my lowers to fit well. Adjustment of the LBJ is a huge selling point for me. Adjustment are made easily on the bottom. Customer service for me was great. I called and no one picked up. Did not leave a message as I was going to email. Before I could finish the email I received a call back and answered all my questions. If I were to do it again I would not get the hardware. The bolts were to long and I wanted grade 8 bolts that I could count on.

Re: 311 Billet CNC Steering Arms and New Design Lower Ball Joints
I have just the steering arms on my car and just back from the alignment shop, first impression; do not think about looking at your phone at speed. The car will track where ever you are looking. Very lite and nimble at the wheel.
I did not drive my car with the stock configuration. I have the toe set at zero and the slow speed turning is acceptable. I would purchase them again. I had just refreshed the front end of my car and did not add the ball joints.
