Default Differences between brands of LCAs

I have a teraflex 2.5 inch spring lift on a jk 4 door and planning on getting a set of lower control arms. What's the difference in LCAs from quality providers? Is there is reason to not go with Teraflex since I use their lift?

TF has good quality. I wouldn't get their arms myself again due to the issues i've had with them. But the main differences you'll see between the other manufactures are price, tubing used, color, fixed verses adjustable, and the type of joints used.

If I could do it again, I'd suggest metalcloak control arms because they're suppose to ride really well and they got good joints so far from what i can see...

I hear good things about teraflex. I have RK LCAs which are really beefy and are bent for more clearance.

Another vote for metal cloak. Currie arms are great too.

Teraflex for sure, they are bent for more clearance too. I have been thinking about changing out to a full 2.5" tf system instead of my leveling kit with all 8 arms, springs, shocks and steering components.

What size lift do you have? Are the JKS fixed length for 2-3" lifts?

We have 2.5 inches up front and 1.75 in rear over stock and the FCAs put the caster at 4 degrees.
