Default Choosing a LCA

I'm looking at front lca's for my 2 1/2" teraflex lift. Looking at the different types of lca's, I see solid ones, thick DOM, thin DOM., as well as prices running from $250 up to $700. Any recommendations here? I like the JKS but they seem pricier, and I like the thought of RK being solid (and cheaper).

Check out this thread. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...USA-Suspension

I just ordered the JSpec (made by JKS in U.S.A.) fixed lenght front lowers. Have not receievd or installed yet, but made for 2-3" lifts.

If you call Dave at Northridge4x4 you get another 10% off plus free shipping. About $180.

I see that the adjustable ones use a polyurethane bushing. Aren't the bonded rubber ones better?

I think the one end of the adjustable arm is like a "Johnny Joint".

Copied from Nothridge4x4:

"JSPEC Lower Control Arms; Front; Adjustable-Length; Threaded Body; 2 in. x 0.25 in. DOM Tube Steel Construction; Greaseable; Spherical Polyurethane + Rubber Bushings; Bolt-On; Pair"


The fixed lenght is rubber bushings at both ends. Just what I wanted, to absorb impacts and to isolate vibration like the oem.
