Anyone try Teraflex Front Control Arm Kit w/ Mopar lift kit for help w/ hitting bumps + wheel shake?

Saw this and was wondering if this is a better idea than adjustable lower control arms but has this helped anyone here

That makes no sense, why would you go that route instead of adjustable lowers?? Being able to set caster on these JL’s is essential after a lift.

Its a one or the other type of thing.

Drop brackets offer a more cost efficient approach to correcting geometry after a lift. Its great for someone who's wanting that BIGGER LOOK and some added clearance off road.

Adjustable control arms generally cost more, but they help maximize the increased off road capabilities of the added lift height and they aren't adding any extra low hanging bits, like the brackets do.

I was happier doing the adjustable lower control arms the synergy ones can be adjusted without removing the bolts very easy for alignment

You can do both. There are added benefits to the brackets over adjustable arms as well. They reduce the arm angle which results in a better ride quality, less harsh, less nose dive, etc. Unless your jeep spends a great deal of time on the rocks the brackets are a better choice.

That being said, I wouldn't go with teraflex. $300 is ridiculous. The @RanchoShocks brackets are super beefy and half the price. They also have multiple holes to chose from. Some of the brackets are one and done...

Oh, I honestly did not know that. Based off of reading here, it tends to get mentioned as though its a choice to be made determined by budget. Apologies for passing along incomplete info!

So, rather than throwing control arm drop brackets into the same category as spring spacers (to save $ on new longer springs), they really belong with something like a rear track bar bracket being used with an adjustable rear track bar (raised roll center for better handling)?

Going further, for the sake of my eagerness for any and all jeep knowledge, is it safe to say that using adjustable control arms with drop-down brackets is more important when going to the more extreme lift heights? Getting into the territory of needing new driveshafts, high steer conversions, but not yet wanting to commit to the welding necessary to install a long arm kit?
