ZJ Suspension Question
So one of my long time friends is finally joining the JEEP world and i'm trying to start him off right. I was looking at lifts for him and found one through Rough Country. It's a 4" lift with coils, shocks, end links, and adjustable control arms.
My concern is with the adjustable control arms. I've never installed them and was wondering about the difficulty of install and secondly how to go about adjusting them. It seems if not adjusted correctly the rake could be off causing problems. Any advice or write ups ya'll might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Be consider to upgrade to Long arm kit later on down the road. The ZJ and WJ are both uni-body and the ride change can be noticeable after lift.
fyi. Do not open the tail gate, or open the doors during some cool crazy flex. the unibody can twist a bit when do it often.

I appreciate your response. Are you saying i'll have to upgrade to long arms in future or i should consider it? Secondly I was curious as to how you adjust or what length to adjust the control arms.

Adj the arms by twisting the joints and set length to where the tire can tuck in evenly during flex.
Shoot me a email at dtung@alphaexpedition.com if you have any other questions.
