MetalTech Rear Upper Control arms

Anyone running the MetalTech4x4 rear upper control arms? I like their design but it seems they had some fitment issues and don't offer them unless calling and checking dimensions.

If you have them, do you run the JJ on frame or axle side?

I am also curious if anyone has them and how they like them. i am thinking of getting them as well.
I think the JJ goes on the frame side though.

I've got a set. I'm running the JJ at the frame, and yeah it is a little wider than the mounts, maybe 1/8". I had to beat the mounts open a little with a 3lb sledge. That was a little frustrating.

They're really well made and I think they're the best option out there for a daily driver, especially one in the salt belt (no heims). Having adjusted mine three or four times to get the pinion angle exactly where I want it, I do wish they could be adjusted without having to take one end loose. Adjusting them isn't that bad, only takes like 45 minutes total, but it would be a lot easier to just loosen a couple of jam nuts and spin the tube.

That said, I'd still buy them for my application over any other brand, and I say that having waited like 3 months for them to do a run of them.
