You would be able to set your castor and pinion angles, What's your lift set up so far?

You got 6" lift, and ask about arms?!...

...and the 6" lifted Jeep sits on 20" wheels and 35" tires...
You don't need arms, you need to be arrested

What's your point? To be a douche bag? I didn't know if didn't control arms would have advantage over the rough country ones that came with the lift that was already on the jeep.

Yes, his point was to be a douche, or he would have answered your question.

The TF arms are beefier, and I have heard of less people needing to rebuild the joints after a year of owning them. The RC control arms are plenty good, and it's easy to rebuild the joints, and cheap ($14 each).

Don't get frustrated by the dicks on the forum who think Jeeps cannot look certain ways. We all like different stuff. I've got 4" lift and 32" tires, works perfect for me.

PS, next time when you ask a question, add some background info.

If your Rough Country arms that you currently have are adjustable, then you wouldn't gain much by going to the Teraflex short arms. Go with their long arm system.

Good point, if you are looking to upgrade from the adjustable short arms, Long Arm upgrade would be the way to go. Then you can sell your RC X-Flex arms to someone needing adjustable control arms (me).
