I have the Currie lift, and as per the instructions I set them to stock length. Seems to track straight, pulls a little right when I slam on the breaks. I have been waiting to do an alignment because my shocks were on backorder and I have the stock ones on.

Front lower 23 1/4"
front upper 18 3/4"
rear lower 19 11/16"
rear upper 17 1/2"
Rides like stock. Even my wife had to admit it. No vibes, minimal bump steer, no wobble. My only problem is this drift I'm experiencing to the left. Some say its the tires, others say it a bent c axel and some say that I have to lengthen the front driver LCA or shorten the front passenger LCA.
Hopefully the problem will be resolved on saturday.

The way mine are setup, and probably everyone elses, the 35" tire tucks in perfect with a 3" lift

Update
UPDATE:
New measurements of my front lower control arms:
23.75" passenger
24.00" driver
Caster: 7.1 driver 7.2 passenger
It turns out that my left drift is my passenger side camber(0.98) I just ordered a off set ball joint. Lets see how things work out. With the new caster I'm not 100% happy the way its handling. Its feels a little loose when the road has some dips in it. It might be just me. I think we need to verify the toe again. Its that or my Fox SS needs to be tuned again.

New update
NEW UPDATE
Yesterday I had a offset ball joint install on the passenger side and now the left drift is gone.
I also changed my front LCA lengths again following the advice of WOL. My control arms were too long which could damage the bushings of my front trackbar.
23 1/4" passenger
23 3/8" driver
The driver side LCA is a 1/8" longer because I was afraid that the offset ball joint wouldn't be enough. Looks like I guessed right since my JK rides straight.

Where did you get the offset ball joint?
