I have ran stock control arms and flexed them the same as guys running expensive flex joint custom control arms. I can tell you that if you can flex more with two joints then one I ask someone to prove me wrong and beat my 880 RTI ramp score with stock control arms and aired down tires. Of course on a similar lift NO WOL you dont count with that crazy coilover setup.

The only reason I put them on right the first time was because I had the directions upside down.

feature the 2 1/2" Johnny Joint® rod end on one end, and the 1 1/4" RH thread forged 2 1/2" Johnny Joint® and jam nut on the other end.
I just am having a hard time finding a picture that shows both ends together, but in the write up on the Currie lift you can see a Johnny Joint at both the frame and axle ends. I am not sure if you will need to fo anything prior to mounting these since I am sure the knockouts were used for the cam bolts.

nope, currie's have johnny joints on both end they allow for an outstand amount of bind free flex.

Would the Teraflex be better onroad and the Curries be better offroad?

because teraflex uses bonded rubber bushings at the frame mounts, they definitely would provide more road noise absorbtion and great on road performance. however, from experience, i can tell you that even though the currie arms have johnny joints on both ends, the body mounts on the JK do a really good job of absorbing road noise and so you will have a nice ride as well. as mentioned, of road, the currie arms will give you the most bind free flex out of any arms available.

Out of curiousity, you may be able to answer this WOL, I am sure that he is running the cam bolts that came with the kit since AEV installed it, and therfor the knockouts were used. Are the axle brackets going to need to be modified to "undo" this change? Just trying to make sure everything is covered before he gets arms, and goes to put them on and they don't work.
