Anyone ever hear anything of ARC-Fab or run these?
They look pretty nice and the price is great!

Also should I be concerned about the poly bushings?
I know they are stiffer (is it really that noticable) but suppose to last longer.
They offer rubber, but its $40 more...
Figured they can't be worse then the stock arms with 142k the PO left on with the 4.5" lift..

They look pretty nice, But they don't have a superflex joint on them. That made a HUGE difference on my jeep, but what are you using them for? Mostly street? Hard wheelin? They would be fine on the street.

the upper tread on the adjuster looks a bit small remeber these tie your front diff to your body and thicker is better in this case if up drop on a rock or somthing the thinest part is gunna brake, and i would use a flex joint
but the price is good if you dont wheel that hard out

after market arms when running a lift ive niticed work better when the bottom one has a bend in it less chance of it hitting the front axle plate above them

^^ Agreed. The bend makes a difference.

For the price they look nice. Im curious to how thick the steel is, if they are soild or tube and how craptastic the welds are? Let us know if you do buy them.

on lift under 3 inchs dont think it would but any higher it helps a lot

Thanks for the tips. The threaded section does look a little thin but if they are solid tubing they should be alright and since they look like a smaller company they should be based off quality. I may try them out since the price is soo good, unless I can find a set of lightly used ones on here.
Also this is mainly a street Jeep and not my DD, but hoping to start wheeling it once a month once I finish it.

Well since its a best offer auction, I put in a best offer of $230, thinking they probably won't take it..
And its been a half hour, and they accepted it! $250 shipped for a set of adj. uppers and lowers seems like an awesome deal to me!!
I will be sure to take some pics and comment on them when I recieve them.

I got my Rubicon express superflex arms, uppers and lowers off of here for 175 shipped, they look NEW.

Good luck bmrrwolfe.

Not sure if you have done this swap before so here is a quick tip. Do one arm at time and use the stock jack to push the axle into place. You could substitute the jack for a ratchet strap if you have one.

Bolt size is M14 x 2.0 pitch x 120mm long, class 10.9. Just in case.

You will have to let me know how it goes I would probably buy them for that price if they are of decent size.

It says they will replace them if you break them only thing is you would pay return shipping.

Website doesn't look too bad either.

Their prices seem really good, hell they have a long arm TJ kit with both front and rear long arms for $850. If the quality is there might be some good deals to be had.

bmrrwolfe

Thanks for the bolt size, but I am hoping since it just got up here from NC, it shouldn't have the usual OH rust most jeeps have!

And yeah their site is small and simple, but they seem like a pretty good company, and seeing as they really only make control arms (at least for now) they should have some quality behind them, and the lifetime warranty will be nice!

Looks like they offer flex joints as well.
