I am making my own control arms. I have the lowers done and used creeper joints on the axle end and urethane on the frame end. I'm wondering what is a good option for the upper control arm on the axle side? Any suggestions. I was contemplating the Rubicon Express RE3762.

I believe, RK makes a "flex joint" that fits in the factory UCA axle brackets. And I think they come in 10mm and 1/2" options.
Or, you could do like some people have and make some HD boxed mounts for the axle and run whatever joints you want both sides of the arms.

I used these in the 1/2" version on my previous dana 30. They went in smoothly and worked well. I kept blowing through upper bushings so i found these and never needed to replace or rebuild them.

Those are just what the doctor ordered to get the most out of my RE flex arms.

I am running these with my long arm kit, they are decent, no complaints. I tacked welded them in before installing the urethane FYI.
Good idea. I think I will give them a try.
