Ok I got some adjustable LCA's from a guy and installed them. First they were ok but now one is clunking. I know you can get Jam nuts for these. My question is. What kind of nut has the crazy big thread that the control arms have? Doesn't seem like you could thread a nut on those. Are they special?. Thanks

your local hardware store likely won't have them, so measure the diameter and the threads per inch then you can likely order some online. www.mcmastercarr.com is a good place to start looking.

It sounds to me like you have Rusty's LCAs. Check his site he has them there.

or Rubicon Express. Or Clayton's. Or Teraflex.

Best to measure and order once.

I'm sorry I forgot to put that I have Rustys in the post. Will these limit any flex at all??

No more then a fixed LCA will.

I'd be more worried about the welds failing than them limiting flex.

This is true. I guess saftey is more important. Thanks guys for all the help. I will be ordering up some jam nuts from Rustys. Now I get to take them off again. I think I got it down to a science now.
