Default LCA Length for CADs

I have the RC CADs and just picked up some adjustable LCAs for them. When screwed all the way down, they're 16''. Is that too long for the CADs on a 6.5'' lift?

Oh awesome. So all I'll have to do is extend them a little bit depending on the length I need for my lift.


Thanks

That yucca man thread didn't work for me, measurement wise, I think they are all different depending on setup and all that. I've screwed around with my arm length with my cad brackets millions of times and still haven't got it right....good luck buddy.

Well, that chart is a starting point.

Just set them there, install the axle then adjust to get the correct alignment numbers.

Oh ok. As long as my arms will fit and aren't too long, I'll figure it out. You like the CADs? Night and day difference I take it?

Apparently the RC and RE CADs are different, according to that chart. Am I going to run into an issue then with my 16'' LCA and the RC brackets?


I didn't put much thought into it, but I'm running a 1.5'' spacer on top of my 6.5'' coils.. I don't know why I didn't remember that. That Yucca chart shows 16'' for RE at 7'', but nothing for RC. I'm assuming it'd be OK.
