LOL!! yup, if you're looking for arms that have the greatest amount of bind free articulation, getting a set with johnny joints on both ends is the only way you're gonna do it and so far as i know, currie is the only company who offers a set :yup:

If I am just putting front lowers on, would this still be the best way to go? Do I need uppers and lowers to see any benefit?

What is the difference in road manners,Heims Joints are great ,but for a daily driver its transmit more road vib.I think the articulation of a Swivel Type arms is the same of a Heim Joint also the HJ requires more maintenance

while new adjustable uppers and lowers which have johnny joints will give you the most benefit, doing just the lowers will definitely help you to see some benefits.

unlike the old tj, the body mounts on a jk are really good and absorbant and enough so that i really have not seen a noticable difference in the amount of road noise that you would think heims or johnny joints would deliver. as far as heim maintenance goes, most are non-serviceable.

Can you say Teraflex? I got them in the mail tonight. I will have pics tomorrow. All I can say is WOW. They are beefier then I could have ever imagined.

EDIT: Here are the pics. Thank you Northridge and Teraflex for a great product and price.
