I just put on the JKS front lower control arms and was really impressed with them. They are a little more money but they are works of art. The threads are internal so there is no jam nut to worry about coming loose. One end rotates to help with articulation so bushings are not distorted with flex. The best price I found was from http://seriousoffroadparts.com and they include free shipping.

Are there much difference between the JKS control arms and the Teraflex adjustable control arms that come with some of their kits? I'm thinking about going with the TF 3" kit that comes with the full set of control arms. Are either the TF or JKS arms better than the other? I'm sure that there are some personal preferences but I'm curious as to if there are any performance benefits to one over the other.

Teraflex have jam nuts which means they do not flex or pivot with the axle. Since the axle has to pivot and the arms do not the bushings get compressed and limit the axle articulation. Additionally you have to check the jam nuts on a regular basis to ensure they do not work loose. When the suspension flexes on one side or the other the jam nuts can loosen so you should check them on a regular basis. JKS arms also have a grease zert so they can be greased where they pivot.
