I'm kinda new to the whole lifted Jeep scene, but I think I'm learning a little bit here and there. From my limited knowledge, I think control arms are one area I wouldn't skimp on. Go with something that does not include the word "cheap" in the description.

Well I see you are looking for some cheap ones. But I would take into consideration the Teraflex Control Arms. They are very SOLID! They are $50 more then the ones you have posted but I think well worth it. Especially the lowers.

I have the full set and I am not disappointed at all.

Terraflex all the way! David at Northridge 4x4 has them for $313 shipped and delivered to your door by a hot naked supermodel.










(OK. Maybe not a supermodel, but I'm sure you can ask your UPS driver to show a little leg. )

Go with TerFlex, that's what I have. They are very beefy and adjustable. Very nice. If you have the money get the full set because it allows you full adjustability.

Remember, you get what you pay for. However, if cheapness is definitely an issue, Rusty's Off Road has front lower adjustable control arms for about $200 I think. I was going to get those before I ended up going with TF.

TF again, get um from Northridge, David is a great guy to deal with. Better customer service than I've seen from anyone in the last 20 years, jeep parts or not. I'm going all TF when I do the EVO coilover, hopefully this summer.
