CADs and adjustable LCAs came in. What LCA length am I looking for to make them work for the CADs? From eye to eye, it looks like the arms are about 16'' completely screwed all the way down There is a pretty big nut that is eating up some room. Think these will still work?

Thats the jam nut to tighten them down, at least thats what i think your talking about... might have to mess with the distance to get the alignment right and the axle centered... Zj front shaft, not the rear cause you need the CV joint and all Zj years should be the same...

There's a chart at the bottom here that's kinda making me feel nervous:

If I could use a smaller jam nut, I'd probably be OK. Or maybe just a lot of Loctite.

1/4 inch forward more really shouldnt make TOO big of a difference. Only way to know is to bolt them on. PLEASE do not take out the jam, you need to tighten the jam nut against the short side of the arm so that is cant wobble around and wear out the threads to the point of stripping out.
