I know Marc it's Ron form Florida. RE sells just the mid-arm upgrade. And you can always sell them when you go to a long-arm

So i just want to make sure that i am getting all the right info... Probably the reason my u-joint went out and the ball in the cv-joint went is because i have a 3.5" RE standard kit with stock control arms? AND i should get my adjustable lower front control arms to fix the caster and get a new shaft?

You need to know what your pinion angle is.
Caster is #2 when running a aftermarket shaft.
With stock arms you probably are Ok.

Currently a am running TF lowers adjusted all the way in which is at or close to stock length.Click image for larger version

What size and kind suspension kit do you have? Also what shaft?
