Default jks control arms: anyone using them?


I see lots of people are using the track-bars, but I couldn't find anything searching for the control arms.

I read wol's write up from a few months ago when they were introduced. I was wondering what anyones thoughts are with the bushing material? I like the thickness. It seems they would keep road vibrations to a minimum. And they seem to have a unique swivel/arm?

And how do you tighten them down once you adjust the lenght? There is no lock nut?

I have the Superlift Rockrunner arms which are the same design as these, I'll let you know after this weekend how they do out on the trail.

forgot to mention the on road characteristics... it's "softer" than before with a little more, what feels like, body roll. It's not bad by any means, but there is a noticeable difference in cornering.

i wouldnt think you would need a jam nut. once you have the length adjusted and have them installed, the only way they could become unadjusted is if it would spin. cant spin if they are installed right?
