So I bought my cheeroke with a really old pro comp lift in it. I think it was a 3 inch. It has procomp lower controll arms and stock uppers. I have lifted the rear up higher, now I'm working on the front end. I have some 4.5 inch lift springs. I went to put them in and realized the lower controll arms are hitting the pocket they are bolted into on the axle side, so I can't lower the axle any farther. The springs are just too long to get in there. So my question is what do I need to do with the lower controll arms to get them to work, are there longer ones with a bend that will work? I know droping the rear mounting point on the frame will work, but don't want to do that. My other option is long arms, a lot more expensive but way better option. I know I have to do something with the shocks and trac bar but thats not going to be too hard.

 

Just cut it off thats what i did not the best ride but it cheep and works. Then you can run like that wile you save up for long arms or drop brackets.

 

That would probably work, but I have been thinking about building some long arms, try to get the axle a little more forward.

 

Get some spring compressors to put the springs in. Once you have the springs in and weight on them you'll be fine. People run lifts that size on stock arms. Wouldn't recommend it but people do it all the time. You can rent them at auto parts stores, they often call them strut compressors.

 

I thought of that, we have one at the shop, but it is a wall mount type lol. I wheel this thing a lot, and I am a very agresive driver. The angles are just a little too steep for me.
