Default Control Arm Question.

I am looking to upgrade my stock control arms. I am looking at a few and I would like to hear anyones thoughts as to which they prefer and why. Also I have a 3" RC Lift and I was wondering what is the suggested length on the adj. short arms and running 31" tires? thanks all.

The ones I'm looking at are: IronMan 4x4, Rough Country and Rubicon Express. Are RE's really worth the extra money?

RE makes good quality stuff, but some are changing there opinions on this. Most of the stuff they manufacture now is outsourced to places like India. I would get an adjustable control arm so you can put it to the exact length you need it, and if you decide to lift in the future you wont need new arms. I have RE uppers and lowers on my 5.5 lift and they have given me no problem, personally I like there products. Rough Country is also stepping up their game and making better products. HTH
