building my own control arms for the lift ive stuck together... wondering if its best to take the measurements at weight on wheels (With new spings installed of course)... weight off wheels with both front tires stretched... or what? thanks...

 

I would position the axles where you want it, set caster /pinion angle and then measure bolt hole to bolt hole. Then build. To do this vehicle has to be on the tires, and at ride height.

 

cool thanks... i had read somewhere where a gy said something about doing it with weight off wheels (and tires)... and just wanted some more opinions...

 

Wheels/tires dont matter. have the jeep up on jack stands and set the axle at ride height on two more jack stands. Set castor/pinion angle and measure like stated above.

 

rough countrys website has measurements of what there adjustable are supposed to be set at , but i had to set mine an inch longer from what they reccomended , but it would be a good starting point to play with

 

but to get the proper ride height ill have to set it on wheels and tires first i think to see... or i guess use jack stands under the axle only and set the weight on them but that seems alittle unsafe without control arms... ill probly get ride height with the new springs and tires first then jet it on jackstands at the same height without the tires... cause rather have them out the way...

plannin on long arms and buildig my own crossmemer also so there site would probly be way off for me... lol... didnt know they had that though so good to know...
