Looking for control arm length info. Found this for XJs, and I understand pretty much the same for ZJs. From Rockhard XJ.

What I can't find and would like to have info for is REAR control arm lengths for however much lift.

I'm putting a lift in this weekend on my 95 ZJ, already had the Upcountry package, but will add 2" BB spacers and Tuff Country fixed lower control arms and Teraflex adjustable upper control arms in the front for 3" lift. I will drill new holes for the trackbar on the axle end for now, but an adjustable bar is planned as are proper shocks. I got everything for free from various friends, and I put all new bushings in the arms and have axle side upper bushings to put in too. 3" lift (well, 2" over the Upcountry) will cost less than $100. For the rear, later I will add an adjustable bar there too.

But sure would like an idea what length the rear control arms should be for 3" lift.

Very cool, as for length you talking upper or lower? from what I know from my RE instructions when I did my 3.5". The rear lowers are only 1.5" longer than the stock ones.

If there was a matrix for the rear uppers and lowers like that XJ front arm listing, that would be perfect.

Nope I haven't seen one. Until you posted that one I didn't know here was one out there..
