Hi, my 96 Cherokee sport has a 5 inch lift with stock front upper control arms. I've just pirchased Supreme Suspensions control arms but I have no idea what to adjust them to. Any suggestions? Also if you have this brand what is your opinion on them? Thanks!

 

This chart shows the length suggested.
Looks like 15 & 1/4" is the suggested length for uppers.

Supreme suspension is an Ebay only brand isn't it?

 

Thank you so much man I couldn't find anything. I bought them off of amazon but I don't really know anything about the brand. A friend of mine went with this brand and he hasn't had any issues with them. Thanks again!

 

The upper ca's are used to set the pinion angle on the on the differential each one will be a little different not one size fits all for that height. You also need lowers as they will center the tire in the wheel well for you at 5" they are almost a must have item. I used the Rustys Off Road HD Adj. U/LCA's on mine. The passenger side UCA mount needs to be re-enforced as its weak to begin with.


You can buy a cheap angle finder at Harbor Freight which you need anyway or may have one already when you installed your SYE and shims in the rear.

 

Or just install them at the length on the chart and then take it in for a proper alignment.

 

My XJ has never been to an alignment shop, I own a very good tape measure and gained all the knowledge on doing it at home right here on this forum. Best part about it, if I didn't mine could be in the shop very often it takes a lot of hard knocks on the trails.


My wife know the drill also so the job goes quite smoothly in the shop, guess that's 38 years this month of working together

 

Big Red you do need to at least check the caster angle yourself before taking it anywhere. The chart is surely a good beginning point, however it does not tell you what the corrected caster angle is when adjusting your UCA's to the chart dimension. Too much caster might cause driveshaft angle to be out of wack.

 

It already has the lowers in, just needs the uppers. How can I reenforce the mount? I don't know how to weld and I don't have access to a welder...
I'll have to get me an angle finder. I wasn't the one who put the sye and shims in so I don't have one haha. Thanks for your help! Sorry for the late reply, I couldn't figure out how to find my posts. I'm still pretty new to this site hahah

 

I'll have to look at that after I install them. I have no clue how to adjust the caster angle so I'll have to do some research hahah. Thanks for the tip! :-)
