haven't seen any aftermarket control arms. but rusty's tie rods look nice. lol they're like 2 or 3 times as big as stocks.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

yo reptile, check this. its pricey, but you get what you pay for.  This is probably one of the strongest lift kit manufactures in the biz.  only problem for you is, they staryt out big, and only go bigger from there.  Save your money, and go balls out awsome the first time so you dont have to double the cost of your projact later with tiny upgrades that a kit like this already has.  on the budget side of things, for people like you and i, i still recommend roughcountry's 4.5 or 6 inch kit (longarm only)

clayton is one of the best kits you can ever get.  i know people rocking they're hard arm kits.  they jump the jeeps and land on the long arms and no problem!!  but then again you get what you pay for.

If it makes you feel any better, I paid 2500 for mine and have about 6k into it... still have probably another 4-6k left to get it where I want it.
