Default Swapping lower control arms on 4"

I have to/want to replace my 4 lower ProComp control arms for some adjustables. It's the 4" stage II lift basically they are fixed arms. Suggestions welcome for the swap. The more info the better, I have to say the bushings on these arms squeak like crazy no matter how much I grease them. So let's go give em up...

Teraflex, everything they make is good. $1207 from northridge for all 8 arms.

Rock krawler would be just over 1k for all 8 arms.

I'm going to go with the teraflex lower arms. Anyone know what length I should set them when installing on the jeep it has a 4" lift could I just measure my pro comp fixed arms? Will I need another alignment?

I used the write-up from Project JK when I did mine. Going from fixed arms to adjustable you'll want to recheck everything up front to dial in the suspension. Here's the link...

Just set them to the same length as your ProComps and install them. It might not be bad idea to have a alignment done, since now you can dial the arms in.

Went with the teraflex can't wait for some adjustable control arms. Had a shakedown down and basically my axle was shifting and creating a bouncing affect throughout the whole jeep. Like I was running over rumble strips. They narrowed it down to the control arms and so instead of rebuilding the pro comps, the adjustable teraflex is what it's going to be. You get what you pay for should have done it from the start. Thanks for all the input guys.
