TJ control arms serve the purpose of helping to achieve proper alignment specifications and axle position when your Jeep is lifted. Not really mandatory until you get over 4" of lift, some people still do very much prefer TJ control arms for lifts at or above 3". Once you go above 4" of lift lift, they are required.
Every suspension company on the planet offers control arms. So... what sets ours apart from everyone else? Price, engineering, and guarantee.
Rocky Road Outfitters TJ control arms have a lifetime guarantee never to bend or dent. If they do, send it back and we will replace the arm for you. As a result of the extremely heavy duty DOM tubing we use on our arms though, this has never and will never happen... ever. Stronger control arms.. you will not find. Similar strength, you may find... but not with a lifetime guarantee.
Price... compare. Since we are the manufacturer and not just a dealer reselling parts, you have eliminated at least one, if not more than one middle man. So while our prices are the best, this doesn't mean your are not getting the very best for your money. You've just shown you're smart enough to buy manufacturer direct instead of paying-up a string of wholesale middle-men. At Rocky Road, the best can, and does, cost less. And buying manufacturer direct, shows you are a highly intelligent Jeeper. ![]()

We have kits to fit any Jeep, and any Jeeper's budget. Check out our selections below.

The most economical kit and really the most common you will see out and about on road and trail. A great kit for Jeepers who want a new control arms system at the best price. The kits use greasable bushings at each end and are tuned and set at the ideal length and shape for 3.5"-4.5" lifts. For most Jeeps in this lift range, front and rear fixed lower control arms are the most popular choice.
This system uses a fixed bushing on one end and Johnny Joint lower. Why not 2 Johnny Joints? Its wasteful. You get just as much flex with the special Joint on one end as both, you save some money. On top of that, the bushing end actually helps absorb impacts better to make the vehicle ride smoother than a heim fitting (Johnny Joint) on both ends. Our Johnny Joint arms feature a MASSIVE 1 1/4" hardened fine thread fitting. Sold with the jam nut for a positive lock on your length. Or, some guys like to have no jam nut for just a little more twist. You can spin the jam nut back for the trail. Any way you slice it, our control arms offer the best engineering at the best value!
The Rocky Road Deluxe TJ Control Arm kits offer the very best components on the planet. Our customers for these are typically the well-educated Jeeper who has done their homework and knows they are buying the best kits for a better price than anywhere else. The Jeeper that wants only the best with the highest standards for quality and performance, and has a little more room in their budget to choose these over the regular adjustable control arm kits.

Lifted with the Rocky Road 4" Trailblazer kit, 35" tires, adjustable Johnny Joint control arms. This Jeep is a monster flex machine offroad, yet stable and solid on the road even at speeds over 80+MPH. We would put its ride and handling against any in the world... and would win!
Lower picture taken on Rubicon Trail. Note the awesome suspension flex... made possible by the Old Man Emu springs in this lift, and our Johnny Joint control arm system!
One thing you will NOT find at the Rocky Road manufacturing facility... long arm kits.
We've been saying it for years, long arms kits make for great 'trailer-queens', but not for Jeeps driven at highway speeds. They cause your Jeep to turn like a skateboard which is not only spooky and unsettling, but also potentially dangerous. Even tech editors at the popular Jeep magazines have stated the same in head-to-head control-arm comparisons over the years.
If all it took for more suspension flex with no trade-off to safety and stability was longer arms, Jeep engineers would have done this from the factory. Jeep doesn't want millions of lawsuits from dead or maimed Jeepers though and engineered the best, safest system possible. Our control arms kits take their proven design and enhance it so you can feel 100% safe and comfortable in a well handling Jeep... whether its crawling thru huge rocks, blasting thru mud, bouncing up an off-camber hill, or driving on the road to get to work or vacation.
Some shops will sell anything to make a buck, but we at Rocky Road feel your life is worth more than 1-2" of additional suspension flex...
Avoid the long-arm kits.
