Which would be the best front lower control arms for my 2022?Jeep high tide?
The Mopar 68322798AA Front Lower Control Arm for 18-27 Jeep Wrangler JL with 2" Mopar Lift
or JKS Manufacturing JKS1621 J-Link Front Lower Fixed Length Control Arms for 18-27 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
or Teraflex 1253000 Front Lower Sport Flexarms for 18-27 Jeep Wrangler JL
For a 2022 Jeep Wrangler High Tide (which comes factory-equipped with a 2-inch suspension lift similar to the Mopar lift kit), all three of these fixed-length/preset lower control arms are great choices for restoring proper caster, improving steering feedback, and eliminating that "floaty" highway feel.
However, the best choice depends on your preference for material strength versus ride quality/bushing design:
1. Teraflex Front Lower Sport Flexarms (Part # 1253000)
Length: 24-5/8" (optimized for 1.5”–3.5” lifts; about 5/8" longer than factory 24" arms).
The Verdict: Generally the top pick for a daily-driven JL running a 2-inch lift. Teraflex Sport Flexarms use factory-style Clevite rubber bushings in high-quality, heavy-wall DOM tubing. Because they retain OE-style rubber bushings, they absorb road harshness and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) exceptionally well while correcting caster angle perfectly for a 2" lift.
2. Mopar Front Lower Control Arms (Part # 68322798AA)
Length: ~24-1/4" center-to-center (specifically designed for the 2" Mopar lift kit).
The Verdict: The most OE-centric factory-engineered option. These are the exact arms included in the official Mopar 2" lift. They are slightly longer than stock to bump caster back up, utilize factory rubber bushings, and maintain entirely stock-like maintenance-free performance. They are a safe, seamless fit, though slightly shorter than the Teraflex or JKS options.
3. JKS J-Link Front Lower Fixed Length Control Arms (Part # JKS1621)
Length: 5/16" longer than stock.
The Verdict: The best choice if trail durability and heavy-duty rock clearance are priorities. Built from massive 2" OD x .250-wall DOM steel tubing with an inward-formed design for extra tire clearance, these are vastly stronger than stock stamped arms. They also use pre-installed OE-style rubber bushings to keep the ride quiet on-road.
Recommendation Summary:
Go with the Teraflex Sport Flexarms if you want the ideal balance of optimized caster correction and factory-smooth highway ride quality.Go with the JKS J-Links if you want heavy-duty, rock-crushing DOM steel strength for frequent off-roading. Go with the Mopar arms if you prefer staying strictly within the OE Mopar ecosystem matching your High Tide's factory lift style.

I have a 2022 Wrangler HighTide that has the factory 1.5” lift the X-Recon package we all know the lower control arms are not long enough. Will these work for my High Tide?
Yes, the Mopar 68322798AA Front Lower Control Arm (often referred to as the Mopar longer fixed lower control arm for 2-inch lifts) will work well on your HighTide edition.
Because these arms are slightly longer than factory-stock JL arms, they compensate for the lift height by restoring proper caster angle, improving steering return-to-center, and eliminating the loose or "wandering" highway feel common when suspension is raised.

Hello Quadratec question on Mopar control arm i have 3 inch lift kit does Mopar control arm will benefit me for geometry issue? have a 2021 Jeep wrangler JL unlimited rubicon 4door with 4cyc engine thanks.
Quick answer: No, these won't work for your lift.
Understanding why and what you do need:
When lifting a 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon to 3 inches or higher, the factory-length Mopar control arms (even the extended ones from the Mopar 2" lift) are not enough to fully correct your suspension geometry.
The Mopar Front Lower Control Arms (found in the Mopar 2" lift kit) are fixed-length and slightly longer than stock. While they are a great budget fix for a 2" to 2.5" lift to restore caster, using them on a 3" lift often leaves your caster angle too low, which can cause "flighty" steering or a wandering feel on the highway.
Since you are at the 3-inch mark, a set of Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms is the most important upgrade. If you want the best possible geometry, a full set of 8 arms (uppers and lowers) is ideal, but the front lowers are the "must-have" for safety and drivability.

This is stated for a 2" lift. Is it good for a 2.5" or 3.5" lift? Thanks
With that size lift, a control arm geometry bracket would be suggested or using an adjustable control arm that is more appropriate for the 2-6" lift range. Yes, the control arm will still work, but your handling and geometry may not be at it's best if used with larger lifts. Thanks for your inquiry.

I used your system to see if it fits 2023 gladiator spot s but it says it does not fit. I am installing a BDS 2 inch lift kit and these are supposed to be the arms in the gladiator mopar 2 inch lift as well. Will this fit the gladiator models with 2 inches of lift?
These are not compatible with Gladiator JT models. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Mike C.
Do these work on the left and right side?
Yes. They are sold individually and they fit passenger or driver side. Thanks for your inquiry.
Scott S.
will this part number fit the same year range Gladiator Mojave?
Yes it will. Mopar parts data does indicate this control arm also applies to lift compatible for Mojave model. It is designed for use with Mopar lift 77072468AD. It should not be used as a stand alone control arm without the other suspension upgrades. Thanks for your inquiry.
Jason R.
How much longer are these control arms over stock?
These are approximately 1/4" longer than the standard factory control arms. Thank you for the question.
