Default HELP. Control Arm Lengths

Dose any one know how long the front upper and lower control arms should be for a 6 inch short arm lift. I bought the jeep with the lift and dont know the brand, it has Skyjacker shocks but that dosent mean much. I have some serious caster angle issues that need to be adjusted. Thanks

however, with my 5.5 inch rubicon express kit and control arm drop brackets, my control arm length didn't change very much over the stock length.
i will verify tomorrow by measuring my loose control arms.

from what to what is being measured. Hole to hole, end to end, etc.. I have a set of adjustable lowers that I would like to put in and just need to make sure I am measuring correctly.
