JeepFanactic Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 In the middle of installing the front lift for my 87 MJ. I installed the 3.5 in coil springs and the adjustable control arms. I have not installed the track bar yet but it looks like the coil is hitting the bump stop on top. How can you ensure the control arms are the right length. Will everything straughten out when I get the track bar in? Just looks like the coil springs are not sitting straight. Any help would be appreciated.

Pete M Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 do you have adjustable lower control arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepFanactic Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 do you have adjustable lower control arms? Yes I do. I adjusted them to the measurements I found on here. How do you make sure that the lengths are right? Is there a way to check the measurements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 are they slightly longer than the stock ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoCherokee Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 When you lower the rig down, it will straighten out. Due to the radius arc motion of the arms, at full droop, the axle will swing backwards when hung fully suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
