Dlebo Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows how much longer the control arms need to be in order to work properly with 5" lift? I will be purchasing a rustys kit but right now have access to some jk front and rear arms. They are aproximately 3" longer. Oh and yes i beloeve in my welding skills if i need to shorten them.

Smokeyyank Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Work properly......Long arm that sucka. 5" on short arms is pushing it. You can put on control arm drop brackets but kind of defeats the purpose of lifting it. You plannig on running adjustable uppers? I'd also ditch cRustys they make junk. And the JK arms need to be rear uppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Explain why you feel drop brackets are not any good? I have been using them for a long, long time and have had zero issues, ever getting hung up on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyyank Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Never said they didn't work. They do work and work well. Issue is losing clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
