That integy stuff isn't very strong. I would get RPM. It's plastic but tougher, lighter and cheaper. If you still want alu there are other brands that make some good products. I don't know the names right now, I'll have to search. Someone here could name you some for sure.

Integy parts I recommend to stay away from. They are a cast aluminum and not consistant in strength. If you are just bashing, I would suggest RPM arms, if you break one they will replace it.

I agree with above.^^ Plus, aluminum makes your truck heaver.
RPMs are lighter and stronger.
