Grew up reading Willie Worthy in the pages of FourWheeler...sure do miss that guy. You're lucky to 'wheel with him, a legend in the four wheeling community if you ask me! Tell him a long time reader said hi

Sorry for the derail..

Paired with the longer uppers move the axle back 1-1.5" Fwiw, using the short lowers for pinion would pull your tire in toward the pitch seem (adjusted shorter then stock) If somebody wants/needs pinion correction. RK will shorten a set of uppers for you. You can still run those with the short lowers... they would be maxed out centering the tire in the wheel well. 2007 Rubicon /2 door/6 speed

Thanks!
