Ok. Just ordered a set of upper rear control arms. BDS. I need to correct the pinion angle but didn't want to spend a lot as the eventual plan is still a clayton long arm kit....
How hard is the install going to be? It seems pretty straightforward. WhT angle is recommended or should I just eyeball it straight from the pinion to the output?? I bet there is a write up but I didn't find it.

It could be argued that I suffer from a disorder or two everyday..... But, hoping someone will give me the benefit of their experience installing upper rear control arms in a TJR. At the risk of respecting myself I bumped my own thread to keep the question at the top...... sorry if that is inappropriate

It isn't hard at all. Just tedious. You have to adjust each side one at a time a little bit at a time. Then make sure it's the same length on each side. More time consuming than hard.

Ok. Tedious I can do. Especially if it saves me the $104 per hour the local shop is going to charge for labor......how about the angle? Is just pointing straight at the transfer case output good enough or do I need a specific angle? Tango in advance.

I'm assuming it's going to be the same as my jk so yes, you want you pinion point right at the transfer case

On my way to Danbury to pick up the BDS control arms for the pumpkin..........had to make a pit stop first.........
Got the control arms from EVB in Danbury. I love it when a local shop can beat the internet prices. I think it's a good thing to support local business when I can.....
Not to deny Brown Santa the privilege of brining gifts to my door......the lift arms for the pumpkins rear glass came in today....
It took less than five minutes to put those on, wish the control arms were gonna be THAT easy!!!

Ok, soliciting opinions here.....
Anyone ever run the genright coil over setup on a TJ??? Ever see one or know someone with it? My dream budget has not limits, so I'm just spit-balling here, but it is in the same price range as a Clayton long arm kit AND it's a coil over set up for a TJ. Any love on this? Opinions?
Second question. Please feel free to answer both. ProRock60 front and rear vs Currie RockJock60 front and rear axles? Again, if money were no object and assuming either manufacturer's axles built to the max. Which would you choose and why?
Thank you in advance for all input given.

Well since money is no problem in this scenario. Id say pro rock 60s with King coilovers. I say this only because I saw a TJ with this set up my last trip to Uwharrie. Im not sure if he stretched it as well but it certainly looked like it. You wanna talk about over kill... but awesome over kill. Plus (for us stick shift lovers) it was a stick.
Edit: I Googled the Genright set up for a TJ and it looks like the angle their coil overs a bit. Im pretty sure they work better if they are straight up.
Loading please wait....
