Pros Solid, well built, attention to detail, EXCELLENT price and great cost/benefit ratio. Greasable and adjustable!
Cons None?
Recommended yes

Comments: Owned a set of the adjustable lowers for just over 1 month now. I had them installed as I had no time, but my friend (also my mechanic) said that they went in easy peesy. Very easy to adjust, solid and well built.

On road they increased the tracking of the steering greatly, solid feel, excellent cornering and honestly I believe that the Jeep handles 25-30% better now. Solid feel when hitting bumps at speed, and tracking is superb.

I highly recomend a look at these if you are in the market for some adjustable LCA's or UCA's. A must for a lifted rig IMHO to get castor correct and to properly set up suspension and assignment.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

2 thumbs way up!

Pros Affordable, flex joint, adjustable, rebuild-able, 90 degree grease zerks, 1.5 inch .120 DOM
Cons Would be nice if they included some hardware, new bolts, etc. Instructions are garbage, just throw them away.
Recommended yes

Comments: I needed to replace my stock stamped steel control arms, they were badly bent and starting to affect camber, etc.

Sure, we all would love to have Currie this and Rokmen that, but in all honesty, for the money, I would rather put that into an SYE than have high end lower control arms that serve the same purpose of these. Not to talk down Currie or Rokmen of course, they are top of the line. We just can't all afford to buy everything from them and still put gas in the tank.

These are great control arms, tough, and do what I need them to do for the kind of wheeling I do. That is why I recommend them.

Pros Great quality
Flexible joints
Greasable
Good Ride
Cons N/A

Comments: Not difficult to install, provide correct length control arms with lift. I would recommend the control arm drops brackets with these in order to provide the correct angle.
