they are adjustable ON the TJ...?
i never heard about these control arms. where can i order them?
how easy is it to adjust the right/left contorl arms to the same lenght? is it a problem if there is a very small difference?

Easy to adjust and match these control arms.

to better answer your question you need to set the pinion angle down roughly 2 degrees below the drive shaft. That will allow for the bushings to flex and stay away from vibes. I use a dial indicator and place it on the pinion housing and along the body of the drive shaft.

It's easy to get the left and right side control arms the same length, either measure them or easier yet, just spin them out the exact same number of turns.
Set the pinion angle no more than 1-2 degrees under that of the driveshaft as shown in the below diagram. Under no circumstance should the pinion shaft angle point above the driveshaft even a single degree.

x2 ... for link suspensions optimal angle is to point the pinion at the tcase output ....
for leaf suspensions, slightly lower than the afforementioned is where you want it to be (leaf springs wrap under hard acceleration , this lee-way allows for proper angle when you need it most i.e. heavy right foot.)
