I have skyjacker single flex lower controll arms and am already on my second set. I was going to replace them with Rubicon Express arms. I was looking around and found that currie makes their Jonny joint with a 1.25" 20 thread end that can be purchased for $40 each. These will fit into the skyjacker arms giving me a rebuildable arm. I'll take some pics and post the results. The good thing is that since I have 2 complete sets (8 arms) I can rebuild all 8 and put a set on Robins jeep too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif

That's great. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif

I have heard nothing but good things about Currie's Jeep parts and axles, except that it can be on the expensive side sometimes.

So what lift did Robin get? Or was the money spent on new tires? Jason

Okay, here's the thing. I'm thinking about the Rubicon Express 3.5" Super Flex lift. As for the tires.....I'm trying to decide between the Interco tires Jason's running, and the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. I can get the Baja for just a bit less than the Interco's. Anyone have any suggestions or input? I'd love to make a decision on this soon.

Well I am not sure about the Interco's but the Baja's wear kinda fast with alot of asphault driving.

One get the RE 4.5 kit with 3.5 springs. The 4.5 kit is more complete. Call Dave at http://www.northridge4x4.com/ or Mike at http://www.4x4rockshop.com They will be able to give you the best deal. The 4.5 kit you get the adjustable track bars and arms. Better to go with that kit and the 3.5 springs!!!

As for the tires I think the TRXUS will wear better on the street and last a bit longer. Have fun.

Spoke with Dave he is expecting a call from you or Mike. HEHEHE I am bad. Jason

Well Robin, I have heard that the Baja Claws are not only loud, but they wear down way to fast. Now I have no personal experience with either or, but as far as I have heard is the streetablitly isnt great outta the baja's/

I have a buddy at work with the baja's, he has had them for a year and they look like they have been on his truck for about 10.
