You guys have no respect for money

Now does anyone know of a long arm kit that doesn't use heim joints. Like the superlift control arms? I like Teraflex, but they use heim joints if I'm not mistaken. I prefer the urethane/rubber bushing joints which most suspension experts agree tend to transmit less vibs from the road to the cabin. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are concerned about vibrations on a lifted Jeep probably by taking what other people have said as truth. I bet if you drove two lifted Jeeps with the same springs shocks and tires, only different control arms, like a stock set and a set of Curries arms that have johnny joints at both ends you could not tell which Jeep had which arms on it.

I have ridden in and driven many different Jeeps, both stock and many types of lifts, and I have never noticed my Currie arms to make the ride any harsher than the others.

I must admit that you are right, but I'm a perfectionist, so I tend to look into every detail and sometimes the sum of the little details is greater than the whole.

Also there is always a reason behind every design an engineer comes up with.

Just my 2 cents

I agree with that totally! I am also a perfectionist that is why I have spent so much damn money trying to get my Jeeps the way I like them to be. I over research and spend way too much on this stuff, but it helps to keep me sane.

I should have added that I believe that the difference would be very noticeable if our Jeeps were unibody designed without bushings between the frame and body. Just something to think about.

EDIT: Your right I have no respect for money, or so my wife tells me!

So you like the Currie arms? Well then if there is no noticeble difference I should add to my wish list the Evo coil overs with the Teraflex LA. But what about the Rubicon Express LA I have plenty of time to research, so any suggestions are welcome.

You could always run the EVO coilovers with the RE long arm, or TF, or FT. Pretty much anything would work as long as you have a lift on there to begin with.
