Default Rough Country X-Flex Control Arms

Is anyone running these adjustable control arms from Rough Country. I am wanting to add 3/4-1" spacers in front and 1/2" in rear of my already RC 2.5 Coil lift and would probably need adjustable control arms to get everything set back right. Any info will be great, thanks in advance.

probably don't really need the control arms yet, but they won't hurt... especially if you're planning on lifting it more down the road. I might suggest an adjustable front trackbar over control arms w/ just 3" - 3.5" of lift. RC's control arms look good to me, but they're still new. I say get em and test em out... if there's ever a defect, RC will take care of you.

I have those arms in the front and soon to be the rear and i like them seems like a world of change in steering and bumps once they are on

I'm running the 3.25 RC coil lift and no control arms needed yet. If I go any higher I will need to sport some control arms.

Emailed them regarding diameter and wall thickness. At $190 shipped, can't beat that at all.

Think I may get these with the spacers on top of the 2.5" coils to just fine tune it. Seems to be getting good reviews and as I have seen cant be RC customer service.
