Default Need imput on adj. control arms

I'm looking to get adjustable control arms. Right now I'm leaning towards JKS or Currie. Which arms would you guys get? Or is there another brand I should consider?
Thanks.

Both companies make great quality arms you may also consider the TeraFlex arms. I think any of the three are top quality.

IMO the Currie arms are great! Johnny Joints at both ends, zirk fittings on both ends, and the arms allow for great flex and are very very quiet! Great customer service too!

I'll throw my vote in for Clayton's They use a johnny joint on one end and a factory style clevite bushing on the other. They will also put a johnny joint on both ends if requested. Oh, and they come with a lifetime warranty on the arm They say the mount will rip off before you will break one of thier arms

Just about any arms is an improvement on the factory arms. I went with the Clayton suspension and I am very impressed with the quality of their product. They offer a lifetime warranty on the arm itself! Jeep parts are like everything else, for the most part you get what you pay for. I had thought about finding an inexpensive solution but I kept thinking about offroad breakdowns and since my JK is my daily driver I needed arms that I could put on, adjust and forget about (except greasing, etc.). One vote for Clayton

I just received the Teraflex adjustable front LCAs from David at Northridge4x4. Though I have yet to install them, they are very stout. Very. Buy them from David and you get to support two forum sponsors.

I currently use the Superlift adj control arms. So far, so good. These use rubber/urathene bushings on both ends which help dampen the vibrations from the road. JKS also has this same setup. From what I have heard that heim joints found on other adj control arms are made of metal and potientially can tend to transmit vibs from the road. I'm not sure about the Johnny Joints, but they do give you more flex from what I'ev seen. Just my two cents.

Good luck
