Dual is nice but not required. Mine are not dual though recently I would have appreciated dual-adjustable arms while fixing/welding a torn off upper rear control arm mounting bracket lol.I love the ride of my LJ right now...
For short arms....single or dual adjustable?
Only 200 more for all those joints being Johnny joints is an easy choice. Johnny joints have seen 10+ years of hard wheeling with no rebuilding...can’t say the same for Metalcloak.https://metalcloak.com/duroflex-control-arm-tj-lj-double-adjustable-aluminum-short-arms.html$1060 with 10% off.

Nope. And don't believe long arms ride better from their claimed lower arm angle, it's BS too. It'd take a MUCH taller lift than any of us would run on a TJ to make a short arm angle steep enough to cause a stiffer ride.
What causes a stiff ride? Overinflated tires, the wrong shock absorbers, or running a stiffer tire than is optimal like a Load Range D or E tire.
Yes I ran a Rubicon Express long arm suspension for years. The arm angles at the suspension heights we commonly install are not different enough to cause a difference in ride quality between long and short arms. Any ride difference you felt was attributable to something besides arm length. Shock model, tire pressure, tire size, placebo effect, etc. And just being an ME does not automatically make one a suspension expert.Not true at all. . Have you even ran long arm. I've ran both and long arm is way better ride.
Jerry whats your take on the Mid Arm Set ups the Good the bad and the ugly. I been mulling this idea around for a few daysWhy do you want a long-arm suspension? Bolt-on long-arm suspensions don't work worth a crap and despite their claims, they don't ride any better than a short arm. I installed a long-arm into my previous (stolen) TJ but my present TJ with its short-arm Currie suspension does everything better. Well not quite everything better... my previous long-arm suspension was MUCH better at getting hung up on the rocks.
I have lots of these pics of my previous TJ's long-arms being hung up on various big rocks. Long-arms? Never again.

Savvy's mid-arm suspension is an amazing design that just flat works on (especially) extremely tough trails. I'd have had one installed years ago if my wife hadn't put her foot down, drawn a line in the sand, asked 'are you serious" etc.Jerry whats your take on the Mid Arm Set ups the Good the bad and the ugly.

No, they're actually mid-length arms. They just have an outstanding geometry design.Is a mid arm basically a triangulated long arm?
