If you're going to replace your control arms, why not get adjustable? From what I have been told by people that works on Jeeps all day long, and sell both TeraFlex and Rock Krawler, Rock Krawler has better bushings and ball ends and they recommend them for that reason. But I believe RK are more $ than TF.

The main reason I wanted the teraflex sport was for maintenance free and because I keep hearing the rock krawler arms move the axles too much and cause issues with springs rubbing stuff... I have the coil wedges in the rear already and the rear track bar bracket...

You will be fine with the teraflex sport lower arms.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Terraflex joints might not fit the current brackets you have. I have a buddy who can only use Terraflex joints because that is the brackets he has on his JK. Frustrating for him because he wants to swap them out. Do a little research and see if the joints are the same width.

Tera flex sports fit stock control arm brackets. I was not aware that any of the tera flex control arms required special brackets.

Maybe it is their long arm brackets. I am using Rock Krawler front LCA's so I am still using the stock mounts.

Nope not any more. All but the rear lowers adjust stock. Rear lowers + 1/4 iirc
