being that you have an unlimited and only have a 2.5" bb, i would save the cash and just get the front adjustable lowers. no adjustments are needed for the rear and being that the unlimited's have such a long drive shaft, a new u-joint style replacement simply isn't needed - in other words adjustable rear uppers aren't needed to dial in your pinion angle. 
Say I had it installed then how would you feel about the Unlimited with adjustable control arms, driveshafts, etc...

actually, those look like currie rock jock front lowers. all you need to do is loosen the jam nut and rotate the assembly joint in or out to make it longer or shorter. with a set of these, all you need to do is set them to about 23" eye to eye and you will have about +6° of caster.

actually, with the exception of the IKON kit, yes, you DO need to remove the assembly joint or rod end from the axle mount in order to screw it in or out as needed.

WOL what lower length do you recommend for 35 inch tires on 4 inches of lift to get me around 6-7 Deg.
Could you put together a table for adjustments accoring to tire size and lift height?

regardless of tire size, making your lowers to being 23" eye to eye and leaving your factroy uppers in place will get you about +6°-7° of caster on a JK with 3"-4" of lift.

I have the RC 4" lift and all 8 Currie adj. arms. Not installed yet.
Since I have uppers and lowers, do you remember what you told me to set them at.? I'm thinking you still said 23 on the lowers but can't remember for sure what you said about the uppers.

Thanks for your help, that is the length I will use.
EDIT: I could have swore that there was a post on here with differences in legth for tire size when someone asked you earlier this year. :confused:
