Anyone tried these yet? At $340 you can get these AND the adjustable rear trackbar for a few bucks less than Al's...

I'm curious about these as well.
They look good.
I stand by my RRO lift, their quality is awesome. I have 40k on this lift with no issues at all. Also intrigued to see them in action.
me too i still haven't pulled the trigger on the JBA upper control arms so maybe i will try this instead.
Hmmm...These look pretty much identical to the JBA UCA's. I might have to make a phone call to RRO later and find out more info as I was close to pulling the trigger on the JBA's.
As for the adjustable rear track bar, I'd recommend Rusty's over the RRO. Rusty's is beefier and totally adjustable from 1-6 inches of lift. It also had a grease zerk on the adjustable end and that end is more Heavy Duty.
Thanks for the heads up on the track bar.... ill give that a look.
Let us know if you get the RRO arms. Not sure how much longer mine are going to last....
I should be ordering next week. Now I just need to decide if I want the JBA or RRO UCA's. My biggest concern is getting my front end alignment back into spec so I stop cupping tires due to the lift. The Rusty's track bar was $140 shipped to my door. It costs a little more then the RRO but so worth it if you ask me.
You have a link to the Rusty's track bar?
The PN for the Rusty's bar is RC-TB732-WK. I would also recommend it! I have been rocking it a year now with zero issues. It is a burly boy! There are quite a few guys with it now. The only guy I know of that had the RRO bar was Carlos with his hybrid lift and he said he had to modify it to work.
So the WK track bar works on the XK? I'll have to order it next weekend then. My buddy is a mechanic and it bothers him to no end that its off like it is.
Yeah they're the same exact part. :)
I need to get off my butt and order this myself before I purchase new tires.
I need to get that as well, should have it on before MOAB
I have decided to give these control arms a try. They are a lot cheaper then the JBA UCA's and not only that have a lifetime warranty.
Great!!! I was hoping you would choose these arms so i wouldn't be the guinea pig :)
Awesome can't wait to hear back on these

Rocky Road has by far the worst customer service that I have EVER delt with. I canceled my order that I placed last week and just ordered the JBA HD UCA's with overnight shipping. I called Rocky Road today because I never received any kind of email confirmation that my order had been received/processed or shipped. Keep in mind I placed the order last week Thursday. The first guy I spoke with today looked up my info and wasnt sure why I didnt get any email conformation. He even confirmed my emaill address that was on file. He checked on the status and said that the order hasnt been processed to ship and most likely wont ship for another 2-3 more days because they have been behind lately. I asked if they were open on Friday last week and he said they were and that they were just closed Saturday and Sunday. Not only that but he said once shipped it would take 6-8 days for me to receive them because im in NY and they are in UT and that I mostlikely would get them until next week. It didnt say that online when I chose the shipping method. It clearly said 3-5 days or else I would have chose to have them shipped faster. I got off the phone with him because I was a little upset and decided to call back 20 minutes later to see if there was any way I could change the shipping to overnight so Id have them by this weekend. A different guy picked up the phone and said that I could change the shipping but wanted to make sure the parts were on the shelf ready to go. I was on hold for about 5-10 minutes and was then told that the RRO UCA's arnt even finished being produced and wont be available for another week or so. No where on the website did it say they were still under production and that it would be another week or so until they can be purchased. The first guy I spoke to failed to even mention that they were still in production. I told him to cancel my order and I was going to place an order through Jeepin by AL becuase I have an appointment for an alignment on Moday and no parts to install.
Just trying to give you guys a heads up so you dont have to deal with the same problem I had. I think I'll be happier with the JBA's and probably should have just ordered them in the first place.
That sucks. :(
I've heard complaints about there customer service before.

yep x2 on the customer service. i have heard bad things as well. My lift was bought from a local guy, and is GREAT quality. Unfortunatly from what is sounds from many, is their quality only goes so far, and lose people based on customer service.
I guess the biggest reason im so pissed is because I called and talked to them directly a few weeks ago when trying to decide which UCA's I wanted to go with. Not once did they mention the UCA's were still in production and the first guy I talked to today never mentioned that either. If you have a product thats not ready to be shipped for a few weeks that should be noted on your website so people are aware. Also make note on your website that your falling behind and it might take 3-5 days to process the order before it even gets shipped out.
On a positive note, Jeepin by Al is on point. I called them prior to ordering and right away there was a message saying that no one is in the office because they were all away for the week at Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari. I ordered their HD UCA's anyways and not even an hour later I received and email saying they were shipped and will be at my door tomorrow. Thats customer service with a smile.
wow... they really tanked on that one. They sound very disorganized and ill-prepared.
If you ask me...shipping should be there number one priority if they are that far behind. They lost a customer due to their poor customer service. Anyways, I ordered the Jeepin by AL HD UCA's less then 24 hours ago and they already made it to my house. For no one being in the office yesterday due to Easter Jeep Safari I think thats amazing. Jeepin by AL FTW!!!!

Those look good, 07! I'm set to finish off my (second set) of stockers in a couple weeks when we're in Moab again, so these are on my list! Glad to hear their customer service is so good.
Those things look tough

This is something I found out about the Jeepinbyal control arms when runing the supperlift lift. I've been sending emails
Back and forth about my alignment problems I've been having since installation of the upper control arms.
The a-arms were desined for a lift kit other than Superlift, SL uses a
stering knuckle extention to level out the factory a-arm. *If you add more
lift to the jeep then our a-arms will work.
To make a long story short, my camber and caster cannot be adjusted anymore
to correct my toe out problem. Corrective action will be replace my inner outer tie rods from moog.. Just an fyi
Did they try adjusting the rear on the lower arm? When I had mine aligned they weren't sure they could get it withing spec. I told them the rear mount has at least an inch of adjustment to it, which they didn't know. After that the alignment was perfect! It was all basically maxed out, but within spec. However I don't have the JBA arms, I have the HM arms.
I just finished installing the JBA UCA's and new LCA's. I recently replaced my inner tie rods with MOOG and I'm only running a OME lift with stock steering knuckles so I should be good. It drives straight...no more clunking noises. It gets an alignment in the morning
Nice
Looks like I'll be trying the rocky road arms instead of JBA based of the measurements posted here:
http://www.jeepcommander.com/forums/...ad.php?t=17946
Hmmm. This has me thinking. I love my JBA UCA's and they were able to get the alignment dead on. The only thing I dont like is the clearance issue because I wheel the piss out of my XK. It seems like the JBA UCA's would work best for someone who only does normal street driving with a 2 inch lifted XK and wants a great set of UCA's that wont break and are totally rebuildable.
So now the question is, can you get the alignment dead on with the RRO UCA's like you can with the JBA's. As you know I just installed brand new meats on the XK and the last thing I want is for them to start cupping because I swap UCA's and they cant get the XK aligned to spec.
My alignment is currently "good".... its in the green but on the edge of the spec. It shouldn't take much to get it well within spec.
I have an inkling that the JBA arms are like that to get the alignment in spec on their 4" lift where the angles of the arms are really stretching the limits.
When I install my upper and new lower control arms.... in going to get the RRO and ream out the LCA slots to allow a little more adjustment.
I dont think you will need to ream them out. As it stands now with my JBA UCA's, the lower control arm bolts are in the exact middle of the slot. Meaning I still have adjustment both ways.
