Default Benefits of upgrading rear control arms.

My jeep has a Teraflex 3 inch lift, but i think the rear control arms are still stock.
What are the benefits of upgrading to Teraflex rear control arms from stock?

Thanks again all.

with just 3" of lift, there really isn't a whole lot of benefit other than an increase flex with less bind in the joints. if you install a u-joint style rear drive shaft, you will need rear uppers as they will allow you to set your pinion angle. other than that, rear lowers will also allow you to reposition your rear axle under your jeep but really, you're only talking about 1/4" of additional length.
