Yeah they do, I believe you just undo the 2 bolts at the ends and can flip it all the way up.

Let me know how those bushings work for you, in the long run I mean. Interested to see how they perform after being wheeled over and over.

 

[joecoool2003]

They are doing very well so far and a extremely comfortable ride.

I'm sure you know that control arms don't improve ride quality, and I have no experience on the MC coils.

I am referring to putting their joints to the test by wheeling the Jeep, putting a few thousand miles on them and seeing how they hold up. For example the Teraflex bushings blow out after only a few ten thousand miles.

You sure? I thought that is why some use rubber bushings versus metal. Reduces the road vibration.

But, I have had MC control arms for over 30k miles. No issues with mine.

The metalcloak coils actually ride very well. As for their joints I put about 15k miles on them before I took them off, and now they are on my wife's jeep with about 5k more miles. They have held up so far, but who really nows how long.
