Does anyone know the lengh of the control arms for the lift? Im having a hell of a time... I called rc and they said from center to center lowers were 16.5in and tops were15.5in. But when i follow that i can not get the axel to twist enouh to get the upper control arms to mount on the axel... Im stuck ive tried a come along and still no dice..

adjust your lowers until the tire is centered in the wheel well, the adjust the uppers until you get the desired caster

you are trying to install the lift?

ratchet straps really help in situations like that

Well the lift is installed... I mesured the c.a. before install. But when i was putting them in the guy helping me loosend them up and moved them si he could bolt it on.. i didnt find that out till after it was done the he had done that.. so my axel was sitting all messed up. Took it to a local shop and paid them to use there lift for a little bit i took the c.a. off agen mesure them agen but my axel was already tweeked a bit so i couldnt get the uppers to light up right. Used ratchets for them and worked to a exstent. But stuff is still a little off... So at this point im going to take it to someone with the right persistion tools to line it all up right... But the truck looks nice as hell with the lift and 33s i got on it... As soon as i get the rest set up im taken that thing right to the mud.. i was so tempted to take a detour on my test drive to the pit and make sure this thing was mud worthy... But thats gonna have to wait. And thanos for the tip with the straps i never thought to use em..

Those are the same measurements I was told for my 4.5X series lift and I had the same problem. Took a lot, a lot of finesse to get it on. I dont think its right, especially with all the posts I've been reading about the rear leaf springs. Been thinking their stuff is not made properly...but for the price it gets the job done, right? Maybe thats the measurements if you gery the control arm drop bracket...anyone get a hassle free install?
