I hopefully will be installing a 4" lift this weekend. My weekend is Sunday/Monday. Weather permitting. I have a 4" lift from Rough Country and All 8 Currie Adjustable Control Arms. I have read WOL's write up's for the FT installation and the Currie installation. Currie has you set the length's of the control arms to factory specs and WOL has lengthening them. I am gonna use my stock 32" tires and 17" rims for now. (I wanna see what they look like with a 4" lift) (Credit card in hand if they look to bad). Anyway, should I use the factory lengths for the arms, see how it drives with the stocker wheels and tires or go ahead and lenghten them? Help is needed as Sunday Morn is the start date.
Thanks

4" lift with 32's? you'll definately want to have your card ready. Alot of people are evn running 37's with 4" of lift.

Yeah, I figure it's gonna look bad. Kinda like one of the mail carrier jeeps but I've had a lot of people say go ahead and do it. With the 32" BFG MT's it won't be bad!!!! Yeah, right. I figure I'm gonna have to buy tires and wheels but my main question to this post is:
What to do????

Bodo

I'm not asking for opinions on tire and wheel size. I'm asking about what lengths to set my control arms. Later, when I get bigger tires I know this will change but in the mean time, should
I set them to stock measurements?
Or do I set them longer as in Eddies's write ups for the FT install??

Bodo

Yes, that is what I think also..

On the RE 3.5 lift I just installed the lower arms are not adjustable but RE made them 1/4" longer than stock. I think that if you did the basic geometry you would find out that to maintain the stock wheelbase length you have to increase the length by about 1/4". You could take the stock arms, lower them 4" and measure the wheelbase and you would know what to do. Myself I would not go stock length but 1/4, 5/16 or 3/8 depending on what the lift actually turned out to be. My RE 3.5 ended up being an actual 3.5 in the back but 4 3/4" in the front. No more nose down!
