Default Front Adjustable Control Arms????

Can I install ONLY the adjustable LOWER control arms? I am having some alignment issues latlely and i can not afford to buy both upper and lower. After looking under the Jeep, I feel very confident that adjustable lower arm can be installed without the upper, but i want some opinions first. Thanks

yes, you can. just get a set of adjustable lowers, set them to about 23" eye to eye and you will have about +6°-7° of caster and your jeep will drive nicely again

x3.

I have the Teraflex lowers. I didn't add quite that much caster. I was afraid I'd get driveshaft vibes. After I pit in my JE Reel shaft I might see what my threshold is and try to get a little more caster. I think I'm about 5 degrees. No problems as-is though.
