Sweet looking zj man that bumper really makes it look clean. I was wondering what your impression is of those arc fabrication adjustable upper control arms. I am thinking of buying some because they are a great price, but would you recommend them?

the control arms are built really well and heavy duty, only neg side i had to put my own grease fitting in them they do not come with grease fittings. you can also buy new bushings for 65.00 for them upper and lower. For the bumper man i made the stinger and the other two bars my self as well as the skid plate, and i changed a couple different things on the bumper itself also

im not sure.. i thought the bottom arms pushed axle center and the uppers adjusted pinion angle. i lifted it 4.5 inches and pushed my axle back a inch longer than stock arms. this seemed to amost center axle dead on, for the uppers i made them a inch longer than the stock uppers so with the bottom and top arms only a inch longer than the stock ones i dont see what would have changed lol.

My rear uppers are 14 and 1/8 inches from center to center and the lowers are 17 and 1/2 inches. That is what the recomended length was from my RC lift. Its only a 4" lift but that might get you in the ball park. Both of the arms will change pinion angle if the other arms aren't changed.
