Default Rough country lift...Need help with joints!!!

My jeep currently has a 4" rough country lift with adjustable control arms that are rough country. I've upgraded the springs and shocks to Evo plush rides and fox 2.0s.

My questions are this... Who would make a replaceable joint or joint end for my arms?? I have read currie and have tried to research metalcloak duroflex joints. My threads are 1 1/4x12 and 3/4x16 for the rough country ends. I need 8 ends, as only one side of the control arms are adjustable.. I was going to go with the metalcloak. I have heard awesome reviews on ride quality and of course the fact that they have more flex than a regular joint.

When I called metalcloak he explained to me that they don't offer a drop in replacement joint for my existing flex joint ends. That I would have buy the whole end. So we got into that and then he hit me with something about the rear lower or upper I can't remember. That it was angled and that they didn't have the offset joint for that arm.

I would like some real world experience from people who can tell me what would be best. Currie, metalcloak, etc. what's the best bang for the buck. I want something that will take some abuse and won't be too terribly expensive to rebuild or buy.

Ride quality on and off road, durability, and least amount of noise are awesome starting points.

Thanks!

You wanna fund that $1200 purchase!! Lol. If it were that easy I would have made that purchase. I just can't see spending that right now, though I want too!!!! I'll check out the rubicon express arms! Thanks!
