Control arm question

[Martin T.]

I have a 97 TJ wrangler with a 2.5" Skyjacker lift. The lift was installed by the PO at a 4 wheel shop at least 5 years ago, and I was told by the shop that the control arm bushings are shot.

I don't have a torch or bushing press kit, so I'm leaning toward just replacing the control arms. What's a good quality but reasonably priced brand, and with a 2.5" lift, can I use OEM length control arms? I've been told to avoid using any Skyjacker parts since the quality isn't good.

Thanks in advance!

With a 2.5" lift, the factory arms work fine. Just get some Crown arms and you'll be good to go.

Stock will work, unless you are already running a sye and dc shaft where you need adjustables. Savvy, Currie, Metalcloak, CORE, are what you will need to look at if you need adjustable arms.
