Default 2000 with short arms

My 2000 has a LP dana 30 with short adjustable control arms.
I havent been able to find a JY HP in good enough shape to swap it out with. does anyone else have a LP dana 30 with short arms 5.5"+ of lift. how did you adjust your arms for your castor angle? to adjust them until the binding is gone fron the front D/S my sway bar and discos rub my coils.

I did the same thing. I used a set of sway bar links off the rear of an 91ish F350. They fit perfect and look factory.

i checked with RC for their 6.5" short arm kit and they only give a measurement for LCAs not UCAs.
I also checked with Rusty's they seem to have a system of markings on their control arms.
I have found the adjustment write ups on the web before,however they did not work and apply to older cherokees with HP dana 30s.

i have used that as a reference before and I still get binding on my front drive shaft. I don't think that chart accounts for low pinion 2000 and 2001 cherokees.
