Default RC Adj. Lower Control Arms!!

Okay so my rough country front lower adj control arms just came in. And the intructions are not very to clear on the instalation. Does not seem hard at all to instal the arms though. So I'll do it this saturday. And by the way I have a 4" lift 6 speed. How long would I adj the arms lenght to? And what torque would it be tightened too? And what ever else I need to know about it, it didn't say on the instructions :p thank you!

From what I have read around 23" to 23.5" for starters, then check caster and readj. I believe 95ft. lbs on control arms.

You can find some install steps in a few of the suspension write-ups, and you should open the DIY alignment writeup for some adjustment procedures. (there is an index at the top of the writeups area)

125 on lowers and 75 on uppers, torque only when jeep is off the Jack and sitting on it's own weight.

And make sure you rock the jeep back and forth once it's on the ground (before you torque). That will help everything get where it needs to be and you won't have any binding issues.

go to the install instructions for the 4" X-series and it will give you the lengths
h XX p://www.roughcountry.com/install_instructions.html

scroll down to the "jeep" section and click on the 4" x-series (it comes with the arms)
I already had the 4" Lift and my arms arrived a few days ago ,so i was looking around too and found it there
