Adjustable Control Arms

[Jean-Denis Bedard]

Good day jeep forum members, I have this rather specific question regarding adjustable control arms. I have a 2005 TJ with a Teraflex 3inch lift, I just bought a set of used Ruby Dan 44 and am beginning a major swap project. Because of my lift I want adjustable control arms to restore the recommended axle geometry, ie rake and pinion angles. Is it a good idea to keep the lower stock arms and just purchase higher quality top adjustable arms. wouldn't this be adequate for dialing in the axle adjustments. I do plan buying the adjustable track bars for proper centering g of the axles. In the endI would save the purchase of four lower control arms but put my money on higher quality top arm such as Savi or Rockjock.

If you want to keep your wheels properly positioned in the wheel wells, go with all adjustables. If you just use adjustable uppers, your axles move back and forth a bit in the wheel wells as you adjust your pinion. It’s worth the extra bucks.

And double adjustable arms allow you to set the length while installed vs having to unbolt at least one side to adjust. Well worth the investment if you want everything dialed in perfectly.
