I'm adding currie lower front control arms today to my 4 door JK that has a Teraflex 2.5'' coil lift. I did a search, I read the install notes from WOL but need a quick answer I could not find. The question is -about how much shorter than stock should the new control arms be adjusted to? I see measurements if you are putting upper and lowers on. Could someone give me as simple an answer as possible, I'm not an expert at all on this and could use some good advice. Thanks, and by the way David at Northridge is a great guy to do business with, I can see why everyone is so high on him.

 

David is terrific, as soon as I do my taxes I'll be spending about 2K with him, well at least 2K.


Install the lower front control arms about 5/16" longer (yes, LONGER) than stock and then check your caster and clearances with the trackbar, springs, sway bar links & stuff.

 

Had you gotten the uppers they would be SHORTER, but since you got the lowers yes, they need to be LONGER.

 

Lower need to be longer so your tires tilt in.

 

Why would your tires "tilt in"??

 

Think he's trying to say the axle rotates to compensate for angle.

 

Thank you for all your help guys. I promise I'll get off my butt and get some pics up when I get done. I was thinking the lowers being shorter would pull the pinion angle straighter and that was the goal instead of getting the alignment right but I see now.
