I had made a thread about this already but cant seem to find it now. My question is with fully adjustable control arms on a lifted xj what is the best way to extend the arms after adding more lift I just remember how annoying it was getting the axle all hooked up when I did the lift so id like to hear of a quick and efficient way

okay well I searched before and after posting so is it too much to ask for what you found it takes less effort to copy and paste than for you to type stuff like that incase you didnt realize

being serious now. did whatever brand you bought your control arms through, did they send you measurements?

a quality suspension company send rough estimates on control arm length to center your axle

Take off the control arms and adjust them to correct length. Put them back on. Not that hard.

they dont want have to work for it. they want it spoon feed to them. here on CF no one searches and thats why theres the same question asked 400 times a day. maybe is the mods actually did something to correct this that it would change. doubt it. the mods would rather spoon feed

what are you saying? you want to know how to unbolt your control arms? how to loosing the nut on the arms so you can adjust them?
