Lower control arms JJ joint on both ends better?
Getting ready to install a Teraflex 2.5" lift and still want to purchase adjustable lower control arms before I pull the trigger. Is there an advantage to both ends being a JJ joint? Better flex maybe? Are the aftermarket rubber bushings not causing anymore problems like wearing out prematurely?
Thanks in advance for your response

JJ joints on both ends will provide greater bind free flex but, they will not absorb road noise as well as bonded rubber bushings. this is why a lot of manufacturers compromise and have one end bonded rubber and the other a JJ joint or the like.
the only aftermarket rear bushing that were failing prematurely were the rubicon express and most of those were due to the radius arm design of their long arm kit.
