Default Control arm replacement...

I am just about ready to start replacing my stock control arms w/ JKS adjustable CA's.

Now I simply cant afford to do 8 at once, so I am doing them 2 at a time, one set per month for the next 4 months.

My question is there an order I should follow? Which CA's should I do first? Does it matter?

I already have the JKS adustable front and rear track bars, I want to get the sway bars as well, but figure they will be my last on my list.

As i can see you run a 4inch lift. The first pair i would buy if i were you is front lowers so you can set your caster and improve steering wheel feel (less flightly).

Front lower, rear upper, then the other two sets in whatever order. (you'll be fine with just the front lower/rear uppers, the second sets will just fine tune and let you position the axles forward/backward in the wheel well.)
