Default Which upper control arm ??

BTW I'm talking front upper control arms here... preferably adjustable / hi flex units.

With rubicon being AWOL...

Daystar http://www.quadratec.com/products/56015_501.htm

or

Currie http://www.quadratec.com/products/16054_9006.htm

or

JKS http://www.quadratec.com/products/16213_101.htm though I prefer this design http://store.jksmfg.com/merchant2/gr..._7155_7150.jpg

or

Teraflex http://www.quadratec.com/products/16196_1001_07.htm

Kinda leaning towards the JKS .. as I've bought some of their stuff before ... and it's made Very well ... but I'm interested in other peoples opinions.

Sorry Dan, but that's a big call that I don't think you can make.
Currie are a fine control arm, no mistake there. But there ARE other arms out there as good/strong/quality.
I've handled many sets of the JKS and one set of Currie - is weight is a measure of strength, then JKS smash the currie out of the park - they are super solid.
We have used T&T Customs arms before and have been masively impressed with them.
Rokman are also highly regarded by many.
There are other brands as well - but these 4 are probably the top group in the short arm arena.

I have rear upper from RE (thanks Wooders) and front lower from Rokmen (www.rokmen.com). Both are holding up well.

However, the lower fronts are a thing of beauty. Very beefy. When I need my front uppers, or other replacement I am likely to go with Rokmen. They are great people to deal with as well. It must have something to do with the first name "Dave".
