Im going to install front coilover system from rebel off road with kings and want to know what y’alls opinion on the teraflex adjustable control arms is. I’ve read the thread about teraflex products here but the quote given had them in it. Can y’all suggest a better product with roughly the same price? Obviously I would like long arms but don’t have a shop or welder near me
 
Stay away from Teraflex. Budget wise my first choice will be Rancho. Then Core 4x4, Synergy or EVO. Bushings or Johnny joints is the price factor as well. Do your research and good luck.

I wouldn't trust them even if they fastened an N95 mask to them and put 'black lives matter' stickers on them.
 
IMHO the only long arm setup I'd consider would be a weld on one. Bolting one on until you got it welded would be ok but not as a permanent install. If you're going to make the investment in a LA kit, I wouldn't consider one that didn't have high clearance mounts, especially in the rear. If not, be prepared for them to catch on obstacles constantly. I did the standard EVO LA kit on mine a couple years ago because the high clearance wasn't available as a kit. It was a constant pain in the ass on any rocky trails. Like dragging two shovels around. I just had the high clearance mounts installed and holy shit what a difference. Also, I wouldn't personally consider doing a LA kit that switched the front to a 3 arm setup. Clayton does this and I think someone else does too.

Doing a LA setup is a hefty investment - I wouldn't do any other one than the EVO high clearance one if it were me. :twocents:

What about adjustable control arms? The ultimate goal is a LA setup but my wife limits my large projects to one a year haha

The arms on the LA kit aren't interchangeable with the standard ones so if you do the LA kit it's all or nothing.
As far as standard adjustable arms to use on your existing mounts, I agree with WJCO and Andy - Johnny Joints are the way to go. There really isn't much of a comparison to them and other joints on the market. The brands listed above that use them are all good ones to pick from.

ROFL, good decision man. Every time my wife sees a receipt I end up having to buy a boat load of flowers...

I don't have anything to weigh in here, I'm looking at the Evo high clearance setup or maybe a rancho setup since I'm in the rust belt and it's will probably get eaten up...

Personally, I would not run either of the two. Rebel pushes Teraflex and will try to convince you they are the best.....and they are junk. Check out Evo and Synergy.
