I'm having a friend help me lift my 98 XJ, I have a set of adjustable upper control arms and I need to know the distance between the two bolts that hold the upper arms on. Anyone know the distance or have another suggestion on how to properly set the pinion angle?

 

How high are you lifting?

 

Around 6.5"

 

Hope you have drop brackets. That ride will be stiff with short arms

 

Thanks for that chart, where did you find it? And what exactly does percentage mean thats next to the length? I don't have drop brackets, I'm planning on upgrading to long arms eventually but I'm on a budget for now.

 

I googled "Jeep cherokee upper control arm length"

That's from pirate. Just base you length on the standard measurement system. The decimals are more precise but you can dial them in that easily with a tape measure.

 

Got it, sorry I looked at the chart wrong the first time. On my phone the fraction looked like a %
