I have a 19 JL Rubicon with the following mods
1. Dynatrac EnduroSport 2” lift with fox 2.0 shocks
2. 37” nitto ridge grapplers on iMac machete beadlocks
3. Factory steel bumpers
4. Steersmarts tie rod, drag link with griffin attentuator, and front track bar
5. Evo skid plates
6. Dana diff covers
7. Rockslide engineering steps with skid plate
8. Falcon steering stabilizer

I plan on also installing
1. Rear track bar
2. Adjustable control arms
3. Front/rear driveshafts
4. RCV front axle shafts
5. Chromoly rear axle shafts
6. Rugged Ridge low mount snorkel

Here are my questions
1. What adjustable control arms are preferred? I know they are not needed but like to climb rocks as a weekend warrior and would like a beefier set than stock. Was thinking Alpine from teraflex. Any reviews or other brands I should look at.
2. Which rear track bar? Once again I know it’s not needed but want something more durable than stock.
3. Definitely getting Adams driveshafts. 1310 or 1350? And why? Stock gearing in JL Rubicon. Stock locker
4. RCV front axle shafts. Fad vs 1 piece? Why?
5. Which rear chromoly axle shafts?

Awesome 2 door! The Teraflex Alpine control arms are good. I’m running those myself. A lot of good options out there though. I’m running a Rubicon Express rear track bar because of my preference for stock type bushings. So far, so good. For driveshafts, I would chose 1310. Let the driveshaft u-joints act as a fuse. As far as chromoly shafts, I would spend that money on gears. I would rather break a axle shaft than a ring and pinion. Again, sweet Jeep.

Thank you for the advice. Did you get upper and lower alpine control arms?

Just the front lower. The rest are stock. I will say, I wasn’t happy with the Alpine front track bar. Changed it yesterday with a JKS.
