Default Currie Control Arms

You know Currie did not give much instructions on installing there control arm's other than front and back. So I said to my self, "Just must be common sense with these zerk fitting I'll have to grease sooner or later." I've been messing with these things on,off and over... So today I said," I'll check the images on Google." and now I'm really confused. I have all the lock nuts up on the frame (not axles) ends right now and they seem pretty parrellel with the factory mounting tabs. Is this the right way?

I Run Curries, that said double check length you want make sure joints are straight and tighten Jam Nut.
The Johnny Joint end with jam nut go's to frame mount, grease zerks up. Make sure you grease the joints
Before install...

All 8 ? How do pinion angles look ?

You can set and install lowers. Then use a jack to hold the diff where you want it. Adjust uppers out to align holes. Drop jack and re-measure angles.
Front +1-2°
Rear -2°

Most alignment shops wont deal with adj arms so ask the question before wasting $80

LOL, your right about that, but they didn't charge me after the 2 hour wait. They referred me to 4 Wheel Parts... Yeah the guys that said, I "Frankensteined my jeep together." Where is the fun in having them do everything for you 😜

On the hunt for a alignment shop in my area and that will deal with all my undoings
