Rock Krawler Control Arm Questions
So I have a completely stock JKU and want to make my first modifications I am thinking about starting with the Rock Crawler Adjustable Control Arms but cannot afford them all at the same time.
Is it possible to do them a set at a time for example Start with rear lower control arms then rear uppers followed by front lower then front upper these are the same ones that are used in their kits correct?
Long story short would I be alright building my own kit piece by piece or do most of these parts need to be supported by another
I want to keep all of these parts rock krawler because of the warranty offered on their hard parts If anyone can have any insight or input on this PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

You can. However,
IMO. If you're stock, the money you would spend on them, put it aside because you may just change your mind after you start buying parts like that. I have RK arms and I like them. The rear have two different sets, one pushes the axle back a little and the other for use with the stock upper arms.
Honestly I would wait and get a complete kit and do it right the first time.

What if i upgrade both lower and upper rear control arms with the adjustable ones then do the front upper and lower control arms with the adjustable ones

I could be wrong, but I don't see any advantage doing that. If you're wanting to spend money on the jeep you could invest in a cb, or some belly armor, or flat flares so you don't need much if any lift when you go with bigger tires.

Only 1 set of uppers.
The rear lowers have 2 part numbers.
The shorter rear lowers and front lowers make up their 2.5 max travel.
The longer rear lowers work with the uppers to move the axle back 1"
You can either request a shortened set or do it yourself. The threaded holes is drilled deeper in the arm for this reason.
Trust me .... I know. I ordered a set for rear pinion not knowing this. I sold them and going a different route.
