Thank you ! It's RK long arm lift and then I just moved the brackets further back . So you can achieve whatever stretch you need . Hope it helps !

You can special order from RK your control arms . You can get them with less bend as well as longer . If my link were straigher I could have less rub . Also you will need to notch the frame unless you go quiet a bit wider , You will have rubbing issues there. All in all it rubs a little here and there but it isn't enough for me to worry about

I moved the front forward a few inches as well , but I do rub on full lock . A ford d60 has 8" of ram movement and stock jeep has 6" if I recall correctly . I had to restrict my ram to 8" for both my steering box and other wise id rub big time .

So mainly rubbing on the control arms? I thought the bend was inboard of the jeep? Exactly where did you notch the frame and would you happen to have a pic of that?What exactly is your WMS around 70" with a d60? Sorry for all the questions but your the only person i have found runnign the same tire combo and lift height that im after.
No prob I asked tons of questions to ...
I don't have pictures of the frame notch . The control arms will get a little rub either way but a straighter control arm in the front will give you more up travel . The control arms make contact with the frame due to there upward bend and the low lift ... So I had to use more bumpstops to avoid that . I still get 4" of up travel but could have more if you wanted it and wanted to stay low . My wms is 69" I want to go wider when I get new wheels which would help with rubbing .

I have a few questions for you I also want to put 42s under mine with 3.5 lift. Did you ever take measurements of your stretch like control arms, track width and wheelbase measurements? I am on a RK 3.5 mid arm now. Do you have anymore pics of how you did your fenders and armor? Thanks!

I might have more pictures buried in past post.... I have more stuff on similar threads on JKO . I do not have any exact measurements of mounting points but I took the measurements RK gave and just moved the back 2-3” and the front forward about 1-2”. Hope that helps . If you need any exact measurements let me know.

Can you take the measurements of your rear control arms for me. Are they in the stock locations? My direct email is Tommygun_44@yahoo.com I am moving forward with my build right now. Thank you!!
