Control Arms Poll

[Jeeptundra]

I want to see what everyones opinion for adjustables control arms:
1.Currie
2.RE
3.Core 4x4( Tier 2 or 3)
4.MetalCloaks

Im in the market for some right now. Im slowly building my jeep up, and will be taking it out on some trails throughout. It will be a driven on a daily once in a while. I want to hear everyones perspective before I pull the trigger, money isnt really a factor but I dont want to spend for something that I may not gain full advantage of. I have a 4inch lift and just purchased a SYE w/ DS kit. Thanks

I like the rokmen control arms. I have the rear uppers I bought used. So I’m just keeping my eyes open for used lowers.

Looking at Core T4 to match my track bars. My buddy has Core on his TJ. He turned me on to them as well as another member here. Made in the USA, options for what you want or need, good warranty and customer service. I had an issue, and they resolved it promptly. They sent me the wrong rear track bar for 6"+ lift and it was too long.

Lots of love for Currie here, and no doubt they are great if you have the coin.

Double adjustable savvy arms. The johnny joint might as well be a lifetime joint. Plus being adjustable on both ends makes dialing in pinion angles a breeze.

I have metalcloaks, and a $250 box of new joints waiting to go in after 5 years

Savvy double adjustable control arms. Better than any other ones. Stronger, lighter, and use Johnny Joints on both ends. Also, cheaper than Currie @tworley

5. Savvy

I have nothing but good things to say about my prior aluminum DA metal cloak arms. I really liked the fact that they didn't have zerk fittings and even though I didn't have many miles on mine, @bobthetj03 has serviced a few of his with 40-50k on them and he said they still looked new.

Savvy. Mine were same cost as Currie. Both are great. If money isn't real factor and you're taking your time with your build then ... Should be an easy decision

 

[bobthetj03]

Metal Cloak, double adjustable for at least the uppers. These are front lowers.

Left one is new, right one has 40K miles on it. Nothing wrong with it. They are stupid easy to service with the only tools needed are snap ring pliers and a small hammer.
The hex shape arms fit in a vice nicely and make fine tuning adjustments easier to gauge.

Currie/Savvy arms are great too. I ran Currie lowers for several years of maintenance free service. I wasn't easy on them either.

Savvy!

X2 to this.

I like them because they are aluminum, use Johnny Joints (a lifetime joint pretty much), and are adjustable on both ends, which makes setting things up a breeze.

Not saying there's nothing else out there that is good, just saying that the Savvy arms are my go to choice.

Savvy arms weigh more than some steel arms like Currie and Core4x4. They might be stronger and even a better material to make arms out of but they ain't lighter.

Something with Johnny Joints on both ends.

 

[01TJ-Blues]

Currie. All good and no complaints.

Using this thread for my own research was well.

Currie lowers
Savvy double-adjustable uppers.

I wanted steel (Currie) where contact with rocks was most likely. And didn't feel the need for double adjustability on both lowers and uppers. Double adjustable CAs make it super easy to dial in pinion angle.

Any opinions on Rusty's stuff?

Is that in anticipation of them going bad? Do they have a history of going bad? TIA

I was looking hard at Core 4x4 tier 2. Then picked up some aluminum Metalcloaks from a forum member for a little less than I would have spent on the Core arms. I believe he said they have 5k miles or so on them, and the joints look practically new.

They seem to be very well built, I'll see how they age but at least the joints can be rebuilt.

The current bushings in mine are shot. I know at least 3 of the 4 rear control arms will knock and are real loose doing when twisting by hand. Though, they do have 70k hard miles on them.
