Default Control Arm Thoughts

Any thoughts on JKS 6100/7100 control arms?

I am doing a DPG 2.5" OME Hybrid kit with shocks, coils, springs, a JKS adjustable track bar and JKS sway bar disconnects. Looks like I may have come in under my budget and am eyeing JKS control arms since I know my stock control arm bushings are shot. Will I be a lot happier if I do the arms now? Is it worth doing just the lowers if the lowers and uppers don't fit in the budget?

at 2.5 inch, you really don't need aftermarket control arms. but if you are really pressed on having tubular control arms then yeah, you can get by with just lowers for up to 4.5 inch lift. taller than that then yeah, you will need drop brackets and upper control arms.

JKS is a great choice. so is OME. pricey but worth every penny.

Wj front lower control arms are the same length as xj but are tubular and have bends to allow for tire clearance when turning if you have stock or high backspacing wheels. So if you have a junkyard near you you might want to look for a set.
