Adjustable rear uca ?'s

I'm looking for good adjustable rear upper control arms to correct the pinion angle once I add a Rokmen TT to the 2.25" BB on my '06 LJ.

Who makes the best ones?
(best = quality at a reasonable price)

JKS


Rokmen


Currie


DayStar


Other

I used the

on the front of an '06 LJ that I lifted for a friend. I had no complaints/issues with the quality of them at all.

Go with the JKS. They use rubber bushings so they offer a smooth ride without harsh vibrations and they pivot. Make sure you keep up with the greasing.

Note: the pic you provided isnt the correct piece.

I went with the Currie upper rear control arms. Rokmen has their control arms now, and they look really beefy.

If you liked the quality and value you got with the Rokmen TT - You may want to check out the Rokmen rear upper adjustable control arms...

The Rokmen ca's adjust length by the jam nut on the Johnny joint locking down on the arm itself, correct? Wouldn't this tend to loosen up when the rear end flexes twisting the control arm a bit. The JKS control arms....

Or am I wrong and the Rokmens do the same?

The flexing is done in the Johnny Joint, just like the Currie. The jam nut is just that, a jam nut. It does not adjust the length of the arms.

Are you saying you can not adjust the length of the Rokman arms?

They wouldn't be called adjustable upper control arms if you couldn't adjust them. But the jam nut does not do the adjusting.

Originally he was asking since the jam nut keeps the adjustment threads from turning, if the jam nut would LOOSEN from flex, time, and rough conditions.
