I am by no means a control arm expert, still got the stocks on my rig as a matter of fact, but I don't think these are the best design. I guess it depends on what kind of wheeling you do in your jeep, but I think under articulation they have binding issues. I would stick with standard adjustables like those offered by TF, Currie, JKS, etc. Or rustys for that matter, their standard control arms seem to be purdy nice. But I'd pass on those

there was a thread about these a little bit ago. They are ok, but thats about it. Being designed this way, theres a lot of binding. I would keep the suspension the way the Jeep engineers designed it. Here you go https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/new-product-rustys-110407/

The idea is the same.
The big difference is the JK stock front LCA are ~8" longer than the TJs, negating much of the need for long arms on the JK.
Those Rusty arms are just capitalizing on the idea that all Wranglers need long arm style design.
