for a 5" to 6" lift how long should the lower control arms be?? i recently bought some springs and control arms and the lower control arms adjusted all the way in measure about 18", even with the alignment shims out so everything is all the way back the front axle is still about an inch to far forward any suggestions??

you got the wrong arms ive got a set of control arms that came from a skyjacker 6.5 in lift only about 7 months old i decided to go long arm

At 6" lift, LCA's need to be 17".

that would be nice except i just spent all the money i could (a little more than i could) on some that i was told were right. so basically i think i got screwed

lolz_jeep

well you mmay not have nessacily got screwed you may have to have drop brackets for where your lca's connect to your body

Where did you buy them from? You can't return them? Other wise toss them up for sell, & buy lolz_jeep's lca's!

Are they bottoming out with some thread still showing?? If so you can disassemble and cut some from the male end for more adjustment....

go to rustys to get brackets

Well they are at 18" at there smallest wouldn't drop brackets just make them longer.

There is no room to cut more threads.

I bought them from a guy on here I wrote him about it and haven't heard from him

After looking at these i would think lowering it at the axle would work, but also could i just drill new control arm holes 1" forward on the axle bracket.

That would weaken the axle mounts too much, as they aren't the strongest as is!
