I purchased some Savvy Offroad upper and lower double adjustable control arms that use the Johnny Joints what I actually learned is the diameter is NOT what Savvy is claiming that they are. The lowers should be 1.5" when they are 1/16th less than that as well as 1-1/4" uppers they should be but read again at 1/16" smaller Diameter.
The upper and lower control arms are made of 6061 T6 aluminum. After talking to Mr Blaine he said the lowers should have been made out of 7075 which is almost DOUBLE the strength of 6061 T6. 7075 T6 isn't cheap but I found a place in Michigan that sold me 7075 T6, 1-1/2" diameter, 4ft piece for I believe around $146 shipped to my house. I had a friend of mine machine and tap the lower control arms using a 1" - 14 UNF Right hand and a 1" - 14 UNF Left hand tap.
https://industrialmetalsales.com/ where I bought the 1-1/2" 7075 T6 from, Email them on what you need because not everything is listed on the website.
The measurements are for upper control arms 9" long and 1-1/4" diameter 6061 T6 aluminum, 3/4" 16 Left hand and 16 Right hand threads.
Part numbers for Johnny Joints are CE-9112SP and CE-9112SPL, This is for the Two forks you will need for the TJ/LJ CE-9102-BRKT.
You will also need 8 nuts to lock the Johnny joint to the aluminum control arm and Rockjock sells them.
The measurements for the Lower control arms are 10-7/8" long and 1-1/2" diameter 7075 T6 aluminum, 1"-14 UNF left hand and 1"-14 UNF Right hand threads.
CE-9113L and CE9113 Johnny joints and you will need 8 of these nuts as well to lock the Johnny joint and control arm down so they don't unscrew.
As always double check in making sure all these part numbers are correct before you order. I have done my best to be as accurate as I can be.
In the long run it was still cheaper to order it from Savvy as they buy the Johnny joints in bulk, If I had shopped around maybe I could have found them cheaper.
