I have a mall crawler 2WD that I will be lifting 3in. in order to run 31" JK take-offs. So, I don't have any front drive pinion issues to be concerned with [I don't think ?]. In a test fit, where it was clear that I would need a Lift, it also seemed that the caster [?] was set quite a bit too far rearward in well. My tires hit BACK of wheel well far sooner than the front, as it was lowered.

That leads me to think that I need even longer CAs to move front forward, as well as compensate for Lift of 3in. I am trying to do the math, and unless I am mistaken, I need my Front Lower to be as close to 16.6875 as possible [are the previous measurements Center hole-to-Center hole ?], and Front Upper to be as close to 15.75

Am I in the right ballpark, or way off ? ANYONE ? Because it will be a Mall Crawler, I see no reason to spend big $$s to get beefy adjustables ... unless that is my only option to avoid any handling ailments at fwy speeds of 75mph or so.

I would prefer to find OE swap solutions for several reasons: BUDGET, rubber bushings, ease of acquiring. If ANY of you could PLEASE HELP clarify what I need, I would be profoundly appreciative. Feel free to email me directly, if easier.

THANK YOU All .......

OE, BTW, those Crown Adjustables a couple of posts before mine .... link No Worky. Could those be the Least Expensive option for me to accomplish my goals ... since Crown+cheap Chinese products ..... ? Last, what do I do about Rears for 3in. Lift ?

THANKS

Now ... IF I do those Core units, would I benefit from Drop Brackets [in addition .... ] or regardless of what I use ..... ?

Thanks

Thanks again ...
