I just put in the same kit . in there instructions they give you what lenghth to make your arms but no specs on what degree castor to use or anything.

Just a question with your lift what shocks did you get ?
on there webpage they say 28" inch extended did you go with that?
This is no good!!! your drive shaft rubs on the exhaust as it goes past the crossmember right on the cv boot too!. I got the rancho 9000xls i do not recomend them at all for this lift. get a shock you can run upside down or else you will have drammas of the shocks rubbing on the rear track bar bracket



I wish somone told me all this before i got everthing ... theres no taking it back when you live in australia
