I performed a search, but found no results to my question. Forgive me, but I am **** when it comes to our vehicles.

I noticed that the bump stop housing wasn't parallel with the coil as soon as we finished the lift, and it's still not parallel after front end alignment today. Is this what I should expect after the 4.5" lift, or should it be parallel?

Before anyone busts my chops, I know the bump stops need replacing. The front and rear were rotten and brittle before we started the lift.

 

Axle to far back....Longer arms or adjustables required.

Did you do your own alignment or have it done. I would like to see the print out if you have one.

 

Let me rephrase, is this what I should expect out of this setup without purchasing another $1,000 worth of parts?

This is the printout I received after alignment.

 

if you're ****, rough country was definitely not the way to go

you're going to have the typical axle rotating under the jeep affect. even if you get adjustable control arms your axle will still rotate backwards when flexing

yes, this is the best you can expect without spending more money or lengthening the lowers. looks like you need to lengthen the lowers anyway because you have a little too much negative caster. are your lowers adjustable?

 

Yep, control arms. Needed for any lift over 3" if you want the caster to be in spec.

You will spend that much eventually A set of adj LCAs will straighten them out most of the way. I would suggest IRO LCAs http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=PFX

That's why I wanted to see the print out.

 

The only adjustment is the slot in the original control arm mounts.

 

But they are not stock arms are they?

 

They aren't stock, the kit came with new control arms, but they are not adjustable. The photo below is the exact kit installed.

Well then maybe after the lift settles they will straighten out. I would bet your higher than 4.5 inches.

 

Thanks Mike. I have found that there are a lot of good, knowledgeable guys here, but some just enjoy this I am an older fart (44) and do not enjoy that at all. I have two sons and a wife that provide more than enough!

You have been the most helpful and less critical of any, and I appreciate that.

 

next time you get a chance, will you measure eye to eye on those rough country lowers? I think I had my rubicon adjustables at 17.25"
