Teraflex is hard to beat between quality and durability I plan on going all the way around with their control arms. I have a set of front lowers on the way right now. Also check JKS I have their front and rear trackbars and they are awesome!!!

I just joined the JKS track bar and Teraflex lower front control arms camp (ordered today). The Currie pieces look really nice as well. Probably won't go wrong with any of these three.

Well, I looked all over and after about 4 hours of searching finally decided on the complete set of Currie arms from Northridge.

The total for 8 adjustable control arms came to $944.90 plus $44.88 handling (not quite free shipping) minus a $47.24 Thanksgiving discount for a grand total of $942.54. This was only about $43 more than the Daystar control arms that I couldn't find out much about (except for the comments from Wayoflife!).

There goes my Christmas shopping money !

Merry Christmas to you! I think you'll be happy with your choice. I was unaware of the handling charge at Northridge, good to know. Oh well, the Thanksgiving discount pretty much took care of that.

You will never regret the choice. Quality only hurts the wallet once.

I won't be doing any mods 'til my '08 Unltd's paid off in 2010, and when I do I'll do it right. No penny pinching for me as I won't want to sacrifice the quality of the ride. I'm sure a lift will be expensive, but I'll do everything at once; lift, tires, gears, control arms, brake lines, stoppers, sway bars, etc. It'll be a good couple grand I'm sure.

Couple grand? That won't even cover a set of decent wheels and 35's. You'd better up your sights a few couple grand more!

But yes - it will be worth it.

Well, I guess that all depends on what you believe is a decent set of wheels? I cant see paying 2-400 dollars per wheel to have them chewed to hell and back by rocks and other goodies that like to hide in mud! You can spend 300 and get a set of wheels that will take the abuse of off roading and be happy as a pig in crap with them! OR, you can spend a couple grand and hit the freaking roof when they get hammered on your first trail!

I guess it all depends on your usage, needs, and whether or not you want to be a mall crawler or a rock crawler.
