Yes the rear doesn't work I went back to the stock trackbar, but the front trackbar works just fine.

They did have great customer service and gave me my money back and resigned it.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Tommy Boy:
"Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time."

I have the EVO's on mine and they are some beefy control arms lol. I have absolutely no complaints about them. Everyone who sees mine always take a double look because they really are that thick. As for clearance, I don't know about the RC but I haven't had any issues with the EVO.

EVO has rear control arms yes. You just gotta call them if you only want the lower.

They are supposed to be making some soon I think. But not at this moment

Plus you can grease them easier.

Anyways going back to the op, from the 3 that you gave this is how I would start crossing some out. First I would look for a control arm that has flex joints on both sides. So rock krawler is out. Next I would get one that is fully adjustable while it's still bolted on the vehicle. Mc is out of the running. This is why I would go with evo 
I know it's not up in the op but I know it was mentioned, Currie does had two flex joints but it's missing the double adjustable sleeve. EVO WINS

Rock krawlers new arms have flex joint like a Johnny joint on both ends now.

Thanks for all the information. When I posted to WOL I knew most members were supportive of EVO, but enjoyed all the back and forth comments about the other brands! I decided to order the Metalcloak front lowers based off almost all positive feedback. They don't feel as beefy as the RK arms, but they are much easier to work with and overall ride quality is a little smoother on and off road that the RK. The difference isn't night and day, but noticeable. I really love EVO products and heard that they may be offering rear uppers soon? Anyone have info about that? Thanks,
