This is my local Land Rover dealer in the Kansas City area. They go by Land Rover Merriam, but are mostly known as Aristocrat Motors.
I was wondering if that was the case. When I clicked through all their social media options everything I got took me to Aristocrat Motors. Then I started putting it together. Either way, I got genuine RRS arms for a great price.
Update: I replaced the front LCAs yesterday, doing about 80% of the work by myself and then getting some help from a friend when he was available. Had I had ll the necessary tools to start with I would have finished about an hour or two faster (was missing a 24mm deep impact and a universal impact). As was expected, both rear bush bolts were totally seized. Though I did find that my electric impact was able to remove them both after 20-30min of alternating forward/backward. Both rear bushes had significant tears in them and the ball joints moved as easy as an Xbox controller thumbstick. It is headed to a local, well regarded, wheel/tire shop for a rotation/balance/alignment this afternoon. All in all, with the proper tools and a second set of hands, it is a totally doable job.
I have decided not to do a full write up as there are at least 3 very good youtube videos,

HERE, of the job that are much better than I could ever explain. Although, I will offer a few tips/tricks for anyone that stumbles upon this thread in hopes to find some useful information.
With the wheel, hub nut removed, and a second set of hands, knock the spindle all the way out of the hub and zip tie it up out of the way. Completely removing it from the hub will make pulling out/putting in the balljoint HELLACIOUSLY easier.
Use a white or bright colored paint pen to mark the cam locations. Let it dry and then soak the nuts with WD-40.
A heavy duty impact or a cheapy electric one from harbor freight will break loose a seized bolt, you just have to be patient and not over heat your impact or the socket.
The first and second videos both reference putting the vehicle at ride height(albeit from two different methods) and torquing down the bolts from there. I used the method in the second video I listed.
Lastly, I can't stress this enough, a second (capable) set of hands will cut the time down tremendously.
Here is really the only pic I took during the process as it was raining on me off and on.
