New joints have been out for like 3 months. So if they are used they won't have the new joints.

Check out Synergy control arms. They are much easier to adjust and can be adjusted while installed. The RK stuff is beefy, but be prepared with a monster vice and large wrench to torque the jam nuts.

I think I'm going to go with RK. Northridge has a REALLY nice price on them. I'm gonna call tomorrow to confirm they all have the new style joints. I did as much research as I could on them, and everyone has commented on the ride being great. Also, found some stuff talking about when they were in testing(before released) and they were beat on. Some kind of trophy truck or something and the guy had something like 11k miles of pure off road torture with zero failures or rebuilds.

I've been running RK gear for 3 years and almost 30k miles and am happy with them and the service. I beat the hell out of my rig and drive on magchlo roads during winter and they've held up with the exception of having to change the flex bushings on the frame end of the rear lca. I'd contribute that to the winter roads here which you don't have to worry about and RK sent me new bushings, no cost. I also upgraded at that time to their new krawler joint thinking it was time to lube/rebuild anyway (30% off for current RK users with the older joints) and the old krawler joints I removed were still good and tight.

Another nod to Synergy. Definitely worth a look, high quality, unique adjustment design and IIRC they use Currie flex joints, which are just about as good as it gets.

I went with RK. Northridge had a smoking deal on all 8 arms. Called to confirm they all had the new joints, and placed my order. I'm sure I'll be happy with them coming from rough country arms. Although, undoubtedly, they are great budget arms. I just grease them 2-3 times between oil changes. My local oil place greases them for free.
Anyone want to buy some adjustable rough country control arms!?
