I have to agree. While I think the parts are top notch, to get a box with the joints and not one single shred of information on them is kinda lame. I mean, how am I to know they are even for the JK? Sure, the invoice says the are, and there is a small sticker on the box that does say JK rock jock control arm, but nothing inside but the two arms. Also, the instructions online are a little lacking, because if you're seriously going to change the angle from 4.5 to 6, you really have to have them both loose to do that. Or really put a tweak on the mounts. Either way, they're stout products (although I'll have to see about greasing the frame side zerks).

From what I read, this is how they go. I really don't want to replace them, so I hope this is right.

I read this before I put my currie lowers on and wondered what the big deal was too. I thought look at the old part and orient the new arms the same way. But the new arms are bent opposite the way the old ones were or shall I say in a different place. If you haven't put them on you won't understand and if you did it intuitively you most likely did it incorrectly. I hate bashers but this is not something most of us change out every day so put a freaking sticker on it currie! I also pmed dave asking about length and got a message back saying install them as they come and make sure they are the same length. Big help there! They do make a great product and it is a super easy install but they need to come with instructions instead of hunting them down on their web site. On my 4 door manual with a teraflex 2.5 coil lift I adjusted lowers 5/8 " longer to get 7 degrees on my C in case anyone is doing this same thing.

So, anyone else have trouble greasing the axle side of the control arm mounts? I can't get my gun in there. Tomorrow I'll try to jack one axle side up and see if it helps.

i just installed the Currie CA's last weekend....

I used the rock jock instructions from the currie website and also followed the jk-forum write up. Since I was installing a 4" TF suspension lift as well, I used the control arm length specs from the TF flex arm kit instructions.

As others have said, I am really pleased with the construction of the Currie CA's!! I am capable enough to use alternative resources since instructions were not provided with my purchase, but this really shouldnt be necessary.
