Anyone have any knowledge of Daystar adjustable rear control arms? I'm not looking to pay a ton when I do replace the stock ones on my tj now. I'm thinking of doing them after or around the time I install my lift.

Is the lift you're installing a full kit? If so, shouldn't it already come with the control arms?

It's a full 3" kit but I'm also installing a 8.8 rear so there for I'll need adjustable control arms to help dial in the pinion angle.

Ah, makes sense now. What manufacturer? Do they offer an option for adjustable LCAs?

Almost anyones control arms will work. Lowers will move the axle back to its original position after its lifted and uppers will rotate the axle for pinion angle. I would find arms with at least one rotating joint. The ridgid ended arms will cause the frame and axle brackets to tear off if u start to offroad the jeep.

He answered both of those questions in his first post.The Daystar control arms are decent, I think they were the cheapest route for adjustable control arms (Crown has since copied them) and have a little flex in the axle-end joint. They're not Clayton or RockKrawler, but they'll be fine unless you're planning on dragging them over rocks and such. I'd run the uppers without worrying about them.

Do you see something I'm not seeing? I'm asking about the lift...

The rear brack brackets are being welded on the axle for a 2.5-3.5" lift. It's a East coast gear supply 8.8 I'm going to put it in with the stock arms and see how far off the pinion angle is. I know there's a good chance I'll need uppers but not sure on lowers. The lift kit doesn't come with any. It's a zone brand I may be going with.
