I have a 6.5" Lift on my Cherokee. So do I need adjustable upper and lower control arms?

 

At 6.5" of lift, you should be seriously considering long arms. Even if you where to get adjustable short arms, the angle they would be at, due to that nice tall lift, would make for one rough ride, and would offer very little droop (if any at all).

If you absolutely want to go with short arms, you should atleast look into drop brackets.

 

Im going with a drop bracket for now. I cant afford a long arm kit right now. They are really expensive. So thats why I want to know if I need adjustable control arms or can I used fixed.

 

mine are fixed and i am at 6.5"

 

Are yours stock?

 

No Rusty's lowers and i lengthened my stock uppers

 

I might look into the fixed upper and lower control arms by rustys. They make them to the lift hight of the vehicle.

 

yeah i need to buy my uppers hold on i just saw some adjustable upper and lowers on ebay for cheep

Thanks Kmanxj. Im going to watch these. I going to bid if i can.

 

sweet happy bidding if you get them and wanna give em away remember who told you about them lol

 

Stay away from contol arms that swivel like that. They don't move with the suspension as well as a control arm with a johnny joint.
Many people who have run those arms have ended up ripping their control arm axle backets off.

Either get a set of arms with johnny joints or atleast get ones with large hiem joints.

Alot of people talk trash on rusty's, but he recently came out with very affordable control arms with johnny joints.

They are the cheapest set I've seen, but they are rusty's.


You could also opt for R.E. fixed arms for just a few more bucks.
Actually with your lift hieght and drop brakcets, these arms would work well for you.

Here's the info I used to determine that. (It's at the bottom of the page)

It's up to you what you run on your jeep, but I would rather run a stock arm then those old teraflex style twist arms.

 

cutting the front shock bracket back and tennis ball bump stops? thats what im going 2 do
