WOL, I know I've asked you this before but I must have deleted your email.
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.

How did you make the Degree character? Did you use alt + 3 digit ASCII? I dont have that key...
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:

I've noticed some kits come with cam bolts, others with adjustable links, some with neither. I've rooted around the forums and I'm still a little confused. Stock there is no way to adjust camber? With all suspension lifts, the camber problem will need addressed? When stock, the camber is +3 - 4 degrees, and with a 4" lift you need to have circa +6 - 7 degrees. Wouldn't a lift that replaces all or at least the lowers with longer non-adjustable units push the axle forward to keep the camber in spec (like the Skyjacker kit) or do they? And just to be clear, the rear axle does not need to be addressed?

Everything you said is dead on. Fixed lower control arms are designed to fix the degree loss, such as the Skyjacker units. The rear axle will be fine on the unlimited.

are you sure about that? i have seen a couple of aftermarket fixed length control arms and they measured stock - or, at least the looked like it anyway. they are beefier and some even allow for more flex but that's about it.

No I am not sure about that. The only way to know is to measure them and check them against stockers. But why else would a lift come with fixed polyurethane crap controls arms such as ProComp or Skyjacker? If they are the stock lenght then I would rather use the stock control arms due to them at least having softer flexible rubber bushings.

Well I bought the control arms and per WOL's description I will be running them at 23 inches in the front. I will mess with them a bit and test the angles but I think +6°-7° is the way to go. I bet mine right now are 2°.
