Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Theoretically, aluminum more prone to fatigue and ultimate failure IF the design allows it to flex and bend under loads. So, if it is properly designed such that it will not be stressed to its yield strength, you should be fine.
Honestly, I wouldnt stress about it. There are plenty of tubular ones that have failed.

You cant go wrong with either upper arm.... getting uppers is the most important part of the 2"+ lifts. The billet aluminum arms are a little lighter but fatigue/failure is not something the average user has anything to worry about. A lot of manufacturers have gone to aluminum arms(upper and lower) from the factory to save weight and increase shock performance.(Less un-sprung weight is easier to control)
