So much for customer service. No reply to my request for pricing on SYNERGY UCAs.

Metalcloak or any arms with Currie JJ's on both ends, up to you. None of your other choices compare.

Looking at the RK lower control arms on Northridge4x4 it looks like one of their ends is not a JJ but a regular bushing. Is this true? I'm looking at either RK or MetalCloak but if the RKs only have one joint on one end I'm going with MetalCloak.

Rock Krawler uses their Krawler Joint. At the frame on the front and rear lowers they use a rubber/poly type bushing.

They use a poly bushing on one end and a Spherical on the other. My Vote would be MC first JJ second.

Of course RK doesn't use Currie Johnny Joints......

They use their own joint and a poly bushing. No thanks.
