I only had the coils for a few weeks before installing the arms and never was on the highway for those few weeks so I will never know if high speed stability was is different without the arms. The only thing a had noticed was that steering did not return straight ahead with just the coils installed.

 

I would go with TeraFlex fixed lower control arms. They will give you a bit over 1 degree of caster and have stock rubber bushings and are very well made. No adjustment just bolt on and go and about $165 with forum discounts.

 

I will sure look them up. Thanks.

 

Any chance someone knows the part number for those teraflex arms??! I searched and keep coming up with the flex arms and no fixed lenght arms anywhere.

 

1252000.

Excellent, thank you.

 

You may want to be careful purchasing those arms. Reading your post is sounds like you only have a 1" spacer. If that is correct, you're likely going to get too much control arm. Furthermore, since they have zero adjustability you may run into issues. Those arms are designed for 2.5-3" of lift (per their website). Anything outside of those lift heights could cause undesirable handling.

If you're planning on going bigger in the future, changing springs, or doing anything else, we would recommend going adjustable. It allows you to dial caster and change as needed with lift heights and accessories.

 

Good suggestion.

You are right that I only have 1 inch spacers, however, do not forget that I have a 10A Rubicon. From comparing with friends jeeps, I have a 1 inch factory lift plus the 1 inch spacer for a total of 2 inches over normal stock jeeps.

Add to that, that as per the alignment shop, I have 3.1 degree caster. The teraflex arms are 3/16 inch longer than stock, and supposedly result in 1 degree added caster that would bring me up to 4.1 degrees of caster which is well into stock specs..... Right??!

Please advise since I am just about ready to order.

Thanks.

 

One thing you need to consider is that many of us tend to like having the caster higher than stock spec after a lift. (up closer to 5 degrees than the stock 4.1 degrees). So, will coming back to 4.1 be enough for you? Or would you like the ability to adjust the caster higher if you choose to? Maybe also be able to adjust it based on future height or weight changes?

People tend to like adjustable arms because they are exactly that - adjustable.

 

Mmmm... Thinking... Good point... Oh man?!!
