Construction & Design

The J-Flex Rear Lower Control Arms are constructed from heavy-duty DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing measuring 2 inches in diameter with a .250-inch wall thickness, providing a robust foundation capable of withstanding rigorous off-road stresses. The tubing is CNC bent to ensure precise fitment and additional clearance around suspension components, preventing interference during articulation.

At the axle end, premium OE-style rubber bushings are used to dampen noise and vibrations, enhancing ride comfort and reducing harshness transmitted to the cabin. The frame-side mount features a forged flex end with a unique hex-shaped threaded bung, allowing for quick and accurate length adjustments. This flex end design accommodates up to 30 degrees of misalignment, enabling impressive articulation without compromising durability. The greaseable design ensures long-lasting performance and easy maintenance, while rebuildable components extend the lifespan of the control arms.

The adjustable design allows installers to fine-tune rear axle positioning to correct suspension geometry after lift kit installation or other modifications. Installation typically requires standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge, making it accessible for experienced DIYers and professional shops alike.
