Never heard of them. Note that Arm balljoint is non-greasable, and probably can't replace the balljoint like you can with JBAs. I don't believe it has altered geometery for lifted vehicles to maintain alignment specs. No better than stock and probably not as strong - stock arms are cast not welded.

Hi all, could I get you guys to check these parts for me? I have 2 x MOOG front upper control arms with ball joints and I assume bushings are included (?), I have Raybestos lower bushings for both front and right (will reuse the existing lower control arms or should I replace the whole arm?), and I have new MOOG ball joints for the front lower (both sides). Is that all I need?

Thanks heaps. Im new to jeep and not all that car savvy so im learning as I go.

Raybestos as a brand aren't so bad but please read my note towards the end of my post. I know some mechanics who don't mind using them in an appropriate duty cycle....you'll get what I mean.
Moog have a more populous reputation
They offer different grades, however and this too needs watching.
They all do. Suggest you are careful with quality which can be uncovered with a bit of digging. Like your screen shot of Rockauto rings alarm bells as its for a petrol.

Go for the best you can afford but that does not mean that dealer CJD is always the best...just expensive. Aftermarket will serve well with careful buying - it can be a steep learning curve but you'll enjoy it.
Mr Murchison is certainly the local place to go to for reliable information and quality parts.

Importantly, as I noted the listing you've shown from Rockauto is for a Petrol drivetrain. There is no way it will take the Diesel duty cycle if that's what you drive.
That is a trap for young players......what fits the undercarriage of a petrol will NOT IN ANY AWAY perform reliably under a diesel.
I didn't see anyone else mention that. It is really something to watch with these cars.
