Default Front axle ?

Just bought my second jk this week traded my 08 for a 12... The 12 has a small lift, although everything appears stock other than rubicon express shocks. Just looking under the jeep the front control arms appear to be adjustable? Is this a feature of the newer models or am I looking at this wrong?

Looks like a stock control arm and stock mount to me. Its not adjustable, but you can cut open the control arm hole to adjust the caster (which i highly recommend against doing)

One more question... Does anyone know if rubicon express lifts used could that were black in color at anytime? Because just looking at the JK it looks like a coil lift but could are black like stock but it has RE shocks and the rear track bar has an adjustment bracket..
