RC X-Flex control arms
Does anyone have these? If so, what do you think? I was thinking of building my own, but just saw these and am thinking of ordering these instead. http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xtr...trol-arms.html

Do you all think I need to go higher in lift to use these? Even for 31s? I heard they will stuff your junk! I didn't want to be higher than 3", but I really like what these joints do for flex.
Here is where I was going to buy my joints http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...nt_p_1636.html ...my buddy built his out of these and he's happy, but w/all the materials, the price will be about the same, and I'd have to borrow tools and take much time so....

The ballistic joints are damn near the same thing as Rough Countrys johnny joints.
I only have my lowers on right now... So i cant exactly stuff mine, but they will flex pretty good still.

I'm running them as uppers with Rusty's fixed lowers. 4.25" lift on 31's. I really need to get my longer bump stops in cause since I installed the RC uppers I now stuff the tire high enough to hit the lower corner of the battery location.

Hmmm.... I think I'm going to have to lift more then....I also have fixed Pro-Comp lowers on now. Was thinking of just ordering the whole set though. It's a lil better deal and shipping is the same.
