Default Issue with rear upper arms from teraflex

I'M installing the 3"lift from teraflex. It came with front lower arms and rear upper. The rears dont fit. No matter what i tried the eyes that goes to the axle bracket does not align. They are offset by an inch even though the arm is at it shortest length of 18" eye to eye. Any experience with this issue?

Put a jack under the front of your pinion an rotate it up, you may wanna loosen, don't remove, just loosen the bolts for the rear lowers. Jacking the pinion up towards the tcase will tilt your axle back and should give you the clearance needed.

Red face Need help with adjustable arm from TF 3" lift

Guys,

I'm installing in my 4 door JK the 3" lift from TF. It came with front lower control arms and rear upper control arms. The rear upper arms dont fit. I installed them according to the label and TF instrucctions. The adj bolt toward the frame. The TF instrucctions recommend to use 18 3/8 eye to eyes. When you compared the stock with the teraflex rear upper the TF is about 1 to 1"1/2 longer even though it is at the minimal length. We tried everything we lifted the pinion to bring it parallel to the rear drive shaft and the eyes still offset by 1 to 1"1"1/4. For the front lower what would be the lenght? I placed the TF front lower side to side to the stock and they seem to fit but need to be at the minimal lenght. So i dont see why they are adj if they have to be at minimal lenght anyway. I dont know if the vendor send me rear upper with incorrect lenght. Need help asap....
