I do a search and all I can really find is stuff about long arm kits.

What is the benefit of aftermarket tube control arms? My XJ has a 3in Pro-Comp lift on the front (coil springs and trac-bar bracket) and a s10 bastard pack on the rear that ended up higher then 4in. JK Rubicon shocks. I have only been driving it for a week like this any my only real complaint is the vibration. However, when I bought the lift parts for the front the guy was trying to sell me the control arms that go with the kit. I didn't get them then but he still has them and I am trying to decide if I need/want them or not. They are fixed control arms that go with the kit I have. I have one friend telling me to get Rusty's adjustable arms later once I bend up my stock ones. I had the Jeep aligned and the tech told me the alignment was freakishly perfect as it is, we only had to adjust the toe a bit. So...what should I do?

 

Avoid any ProComp lift parts like the plague!

Their LCA's use poly bushings that don't flex worth a damn. They'll mangle your stock LCA (axle side) if you wheel it on anything rougher than a dirt road.

Pure garbage!!!

 

So in this case Rusty's with the rubber bushings might be better?

 

Yes, but better still are Rubicon Express SuperFlex LCA's.

 

Doing some reseach now. I'm not going to hardcore wheel this thing, is it best to take my friend's suggestion and wait until the stock LCA's are effed?

Edit - Wow yeah...Rusty's for me. Did I mention this is a cheap XJ project?
