Upper A arms???

[cbass]

I have been looking at the upper A arms from www.jeepinbyal.com to replace my worn out ones. So my question is has anbody used these yet?? Are they worth the $350? Were they difficult to install? Any issues? Quality of product? That kind of stuff, any feedback on these would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I don't have them, but a few members of LOST do. They are for a lifted KJ only. They are about .25" longer than the stock and angled a little different. All to help put the ball joint and alignment setting back to the stock geometry. Plus the contain a heavy duty ball joint that is greasable.

The upper control arms are quite easy to replace. Just 2 bolts per arm and the ball joint nut.

Would they work with my lift eddo, or is mine to small?

Not sure. You could try e-mail Al. However, I really don't think you need them. You are only lifted about 1.5" in the front so the geometry should still be pretty close to stock. It is more for people with the Frankenlift that have 3" up front.

Thanks for the info Eddo. When you say 3" lift are you talking pre or post? I have the Skyjacker 2.5" kit on my 2003 sport and would love to try these out if they work as advertised.


Any of you guys with this mod want to chime in??

Should work well with something like the Skyjacker, Frankenlift. For the OME, probably Rustys the stock ones are more than fine. Actually the stock ones work fine even for the Skyjacker and Frankenlift, but a little longer of one can't hurt.

Not worried about the longer arm, I like the greaseable joint.

Nobody has used these??

Bump. Bump.

In fact there are quite a few people that use them, I dont have them yet, as I have yet to lift my KJ (I will this spring). I have seen them in action on a couple rigs, including Jeepin' Al's. They are designed for the 2 1/2" lift or more, and bring the Alignment back into factory specs. From what I have seen IMO, worth the money.

I installed a set on a friends KJ last weekend and they are very Beefy. Well worth the money IMHO and my wifes KJ will be gettting a set along w/ Moog lowers. I would put them on my KJ but it is going SFA in the future anyway so why bother. Install on them isn't bad at all, only took a couple hours total and that was with a stubborn bolt. His alignment still has some adjustment left in it now too when w/ stock arms it was maxxed out.
