Dirteatr717 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd actually make every lower arm an inch longer then the chart says for the the wheel to be centered and I'd make the uppers 1.5" longer for the correct pinion angle, this is just what I found works best... I'm at ~6.25 inches of lift and I set my lowers at 18" and my uppers at about 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundpounder Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 How about rock crawler long arms with 6.5" coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev1006 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I am guessing thats for short arms going to the stock frame locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller99 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Sorry but this table is the most useless thing I have ever seen. Those lengths are compared to what. The front of my XJ build "witch should be the same as an MJ" every link including the 4 rear links are all over 3' each with 5.5" of lift. So are you saying my one ton swap is wrong LOL. :smart: Such a general statement can never be made when JEEP'S are involved. :huh???: Yes beleave it or not some people who build JEEPS really build them not copy or mock aftermarket parts. :nuts: Retract your general statement of bull $#!& Some people are not built on QUEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOrnbrod Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Since you did not specify to whom you were addressing this moronic post, I'll reply just to be courteous. The table is based on trigonometry to show the proper lengths between the upper and lower CAs to preserve correct caster based on triangular angles. Something you obviously don't understand. The table is for reference only, and is not written in stone, as in anything where "JEEP'S are involved". In your future posts on this forum, try using less smileys, over-emphatic punctuation, and excessive drama. Also use correct spelling if you can, and proper punctuation and sentence structure if you want any reader who takes the time to read your posts seriously.

JeepcoMJ Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Aaron, tgose are the lengths for front short arms with no drop brackets with their tespective lift heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So if you budget boost with a 2" spacer up front, you should get adj control arms? or will it be OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Finish your lift, then measure if the front axle is centered in the wheelwell flares using a straight edge parallel upright (2 x 4). If the axle is equally centered, UB OK. I needed adj. lower LCAs w. a 3" lift as the axle went 3/4" off center. With 2" you probably will not need adjustables.

mountainman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Sweet thanks. Any suggestions on what everyone has found to be a good quality set of adjustable LCA's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this post is two years old but jeez... did this guy ever figure out that his swapped-in axles with god knows what axle mounts going to god knows where body side mounts may not be in the exact same places as the factory mounts? :doh: Most suppliers will not reveal tech details of their products but I know from measuring the eye-to-eye length of RC & Rocky's fixed bent LCA's for a 4.5" lift that they are both 16.25". Does the measurement change from bent to straight short arms? Do you still measure in a straight line eye-to-eye for bent LCA's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidoo_j Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Eye to eye is what matters, that's what effects the castor and pinion angle. The bend provides clearance to prevent contact on mount. Some companies have the bend others weld the arm on the bottom of the eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 That makes sense. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
