Construction & Design

The JKS J-Flex control arms are constructed from heavy-duty DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing, measuring 2 inches in diameter with a 0.250-inch wall thickness. This material choice ensures exceptional strength and rigidity to withstand the demanding conditions of off-road driving. The tubing is CNC bent to provide additional clearance, preventing interference with suspension components and obstacles.

At the axle end, the arms utilize OE-style rubber bushings that effectively isolate road noise and vibrations, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable ride. The frame-side mount features a forged flex end with a unique hex-shaped threaded bung, allowing for precise length adjustments and accommodating suspension articulation. The greaseable design of the flex ends ensures long-lasting performance and easy maintenance, while the rebuildable feature extends the service life of the control arms.
