I know JKS makes good stuff, but their price for a full set of upper and lower frt & rr adj CA's are almost twice that of IROR. Are they that much better? Seems like a lot for a set of zerk fittings. All thoughts welcome. Thank you.

JKS is a little pricey...but they also make great products and is name brand....IRO makes great products also....i have their lower control arms f&r they have worked out great..no problems....i would go with IRO if you dont want to waste alot of money and still get a good product.

Yeah I have RE lowers now, but when I go to get uppers when I decide to go up to 5.5 sooner or later ill be getting IRO arms.

I have the JKS rr adj TB and frt disco's, great quality. I just can't find a good reason yet to spend $1200 instead of $599. That's $600 toward some 33's. Thanks.

Question, do you plan on staying on short arms for a while or would you like to upgrade to long arms at some point?

If you plan to stay on SAs, go with JKS. If these are just a stepping stone to LAs, go with the cheaper ones.

The IRO arms don't pivot in the center for added flex, do they?

What's wrong with Rubicon Express arms?

I don't know much about the mechanic's, but the RE arms are not offset at the bushing or have a bent arm. My understanding is that this allows more articulation before hitting the CA axle mount. Does this make a difference? Specific to #5 ... No, I do not plan on going to long arms in the future.

I just installed RE arms on a TJ last weekend (same lowers). They are offset at the bushing, but not bent.

[1sportsdoc]

Not sure if the TJ CA's are the same as the zj CA's, but the zj picture on the RE website looked like the CA's were straight w/o any offset at the bushing. But again, I don't know how important this is. With out going to a limiting strap, Is it better to have the CA as the limiting factor or the shock?

[FPKites]

RE SuperFlex adjustable arms - part# RE3715, both TJ and ZJ. The website images do look a bit straight-on, but in person, there is an obvious offset.

Fairly unlikely that you'll end up using the arms as a limiting "strap".

[Texas ZJ1]

I don't think that the RE arms limit flex in any way. Here's a pick of my RE Superflex arms flexed enough to have a 35 below the rocker panel.




So, there aren't any binding issues.
