Maybe Rockclimber will see this and chime in with p/n or such.

This is all I've found for double adjustable. Clayton does not have them, Savvy can't say if they fit XJ, IRO does not...

just realized most of this thread is almost 10 years old.

Honestly, I'll probably order a kit DOM and joint kit from Ruff Stuff. this build is actually starting to take shape in my head.

I think they list only upper arms for the XJ.

just for the record,
TJ/LJ/ZJ/XJ/MJ Front Upper and Lower Control arms are all the same.

before I 3 linked I ran Rokmen TJ lowers and Currie TJ Uppers for years.

so if savvy won't confirm they fit an XJ its simply because they are covering their asses. can't really fault them for that.

I miss the "LIKE" button.

I LIKE this post. And I like the look of the SF Control Arms (gonna stick with my JKS at least for now since nothing appears worn.)

Stinky Fab is getting quite a good rep around here it seems.

There you go, that's a good looking set!

Reading this old thread probably taught me more than starting over with a new one. And now it's up to date.

Been thinking about getting some if these. I like to run poly on the axle side.

My pickup may be first to try these. Been wanting to get rid of castor bolts and run adjustable arms upper and lower. Would run both ends poly on the pickup.

I've had good luck with the cheap ruffstuff 7/8 and 1.25 heims.

you would be way better off with a flex joint, not poly.

IF you do decide to run poly, make sure you significantly strengthen the mounts, as the poly bushings will tear them off.

That reply makes no since. Your worried about poly causing your control arm brackets to tear off. Hmmm the bolt on world must be full of cheap shit.
Maybe I need to read my reply again or maybe you do either way one of us is not seeing straight

i *think* he means that poly bushings will transfer more force to the mount than a heim joint. But not 100% sure./..

More importantly bushings need to flex in all 3 dimensions "x-y-z", only a flex-joint provides that!

yup

 

[Evan03]

Bushings on axle end flex joints on frame side is a good combo. I get no bind on the axle side poly joints and they keep the arm from flopping side to side.

If I was binding on my poly at the axle theyd be all chewd up.
