I need some recommendations on some good adjustable upper controls arms for my XJ. 

 

Right now, after some hard wheeling, the death wobblez have returned.  I knew it was only a matter of time because my caster is all sorts of stupid off.  The pinion yoke is perfectly parallel with the frame rails instead of raised like it ought to be.  My coils are rubbing all over the coil posts as well.  Anyway, I'm running Rusty's Offroad fixed LCA's with the bend (not sure of their length because I bought them years ago when I was stupid and was new to lifts).  I'm running 4" of lift up front.  Need some good adj. UCA's to get my axle back to acceptable caster.

 

Also, I'm not looking to buy the best, most expensive UCA's ever.  Eventually, I'm upgrading to long arms and a 6" lift.  Just need something to make it drivable again for a while.

I've had a great experience with my RC lowers, gonna get the uppers later on down the road. They've got rebuildable flex joints to allow for more axle articulation, run for about 180 for a pair. Adjustable, also. Very happy with mine, and they've been beaten.

I bought some Rock Krawler ones off of 4wd for a pretty good price with free shipping.  Have yet to install them though to tell you how well they have preformed.

I read about these U/LCAs somewhere on here and found them on Amazon. They're tight on the frame side so be prepared to get out the BFH, and I had to make some room on the lowers by removing the adjustment tabs. Best part was being able to set the caster and orientate the pinion to a proper angle.

I'll check them, but I just had them out last year and they were fine then, before that, they were already 7 years old.  Thanks for the heads up though.

 On one of mine the bushing shifted so far out to one side that the control arm was touching the control arm bracket. Needless to say that caused some vibrations and strange noises.
