AEV 4.5", control arm question
I just ordered the AEV 4.5" Premium, yukon 5.13 gears w/overhaul install and the LOD stubby stinger front bumper, and considering the Rancho rear bumper for a cheaper solution to holding a 37" tire. I am looking for new front lower arms and am torn. I was leaning towards currie or others. Other than adjustability, would either have extra pros or cons over the other or is there just a better solution all together? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Go with TeraFlex. 
They're heavy duty, easy to grease, and their customer service is awesome.
All adjustable control arms are far better than stock, but if you want a cheap option, Rusty's Off ROad has adjustable arms on their site for real cheap. For my money, I bought a full set of TeraFlex adjustable control arms. You may want to consider buying all 8 since I am guessing you are getting new driveshafts. If not, just get rear uppers and front lowers. Just my $ .02.

control arms
I went with the teraflex adjustable front lowers for now, I'll just use the cam bolts in the rear for now until I can update it all the way around.

I have the Currie arms. The main difference with the Currie vs. the others is that Currie puts Johnny Joints on both ends as apposed to joints on one end an bushings on the other. Having the Johnny Joints on both ends gives you more flex. I've heard you feel more road noise with the Johnny Joints on both ends, but I haven't noticed it.
