Center of eye to center of eye factory are 22 5/8in . You would be extending them 3/8 of an in. Small increments make a big difference.

What should the other control arms be set at to start? Lca-23. what about the upper front control arms and the rear ones?

Thank you very much. So unfortunately because of my schedule at the Sheriff's department I only have time for one install. I won't have the luxury of taking them on and off to fine tune my caster at this time. Would you still suggest 23 or err a little longer? All I am hoping for is to be within OEM specs.

Thanks!

23 1/8 eye to eye here. Feels perfect to me. Also you can knock the install out in less than 30minutes. Might need a hand to torque things down.
