Go with adjustable ones. They're more expensive but you'll really be able to dial in your suspension and be happier in the long run. Check out Rock Krawler and TeraFlex too, for a price comparison.

JKS Jeep JK JSPEC Lower Control Arms, Front, Adjustable-Length (JSPEC1001)

Rock Krawler JK High Clearance Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms (RK02015)

Tera Flex JK Front Lower FlexArms (1653700)

The RK lower control arms are very strong. We have not been able to break them and we have tried LOL!!

RK also offers a lifetime abuse proof warranty.

Feel free to PM us for a quote.

Also check out Metal Cloak control arms. They have a nice video.

I'm really satisfied running Currie and RK arms. The re buildable Johnny joints on the Currie arms are a quality plus, and like SB 4x4 mentioned, hard to beat Rk's abuse proof warranty.

MANY people use TF control arms and are happy. I personally have front lowers and rear uppers. There are other good quality adjustables out there. Do a seach and you will be able to figure out what the collective group prefer. It won't take long for you to see what the top two or three choices are.

I went from Tereflex to Rock Krawler to Synergy to Metal Cloak (frankenlift). You can't go wrong with any of them. I loved the beefyness of Rock krawler..Synergy arms are sov easy to adjust (you can adjust them while installed) The metal cloaks look real nice with their unique coating and flex like crazy. Good luck
