control arm need opinion and have a Q
so my upper control arm looks a little bent and i cant decide what to buy i want something that wont take every penny from my wallet and durable with a good ride. im going to be replacing my lower control arms as well, i currently have the rc fixed arms that came with my lift. Some one had told me my control arms were to short and if my axle dropped all the way down it could cause my drive shaft to bust my transfer case and we dont want that so im looking for adjustable arms.
if you all could give me some names and how you feel about the product that would be great! im currently looking into two products.
one is the package deal offered right on this sight http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/
and the second are these
http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=XSP
one question about the ones on ironrock is what is the difference between arms with a bend and those with out?
hope you all can help i appreciate it!

I would go with IRO. I have liked there products, but have not used there arms before.
The "bent" ones are for XJ,ZJ,TJ
The straight ones are for a WJ.
Based on your link....
If you can swing long arms I would do it! but either way adjustables will be better then fixed.

Yeah I read that too, some companys make bent arms to allow less/no binding on axle side arm mounts, or "high" clearence arms. but based on your like with where the pics are thats what I gathered...

alright so another question since i was just looking in to this some more. my kit came with fixed arms for a 4.5 lift and i just came across this web site http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/re_db.html which says the length for the lca should be 16.5 and uppers 15". i meet both of those measurements with fixed lca and stock uppers. so now im wondering if i should replace them or not or if i do get adjustable would adding another half inch or so add to my flex and handling or would that addition harm it.
