any that are greasable (unless using rubber bushings), have at least one flex joint, and that are adjustable.

good affordable adj. control arms can be found here:

Just put a set of the new Rough Country X-Flex upper and lower control arms on my XJ. These things absolutely rock and you can't beat the price.

Look at my Avatar. That is a 33 inch Maxxis Bighorn that is a mile outside the wheel well. The RC X-Flex control arms work well.

5 out of 6 said RC (one being "neutral") so that says something.

I got lucky. I ordered when the first batch was going out at $159. I just bought the arms themselves and got em 3 days later. Soon after they began to sell quickly. I asked for uppers a couple weeks ago and they said they didn't have any in stock so I'm waiting till things cool down.
