RC Control Arms
Ok Ive got my new RC 4.5" Xseries lift in. First off what kind/type of grease do I use on the joints? Second, how do I know how or where to adj the control arms to? The instructions give measurements for the track bar but nothing on Control arms.

Keep in mind this is a starting point. At 4.5" lift and adjusting the lower arms to 16.5 and stock uppers I had 0 castor and driveline vibes.

Ok kit came with adj upper and lower control arms. Start with lowers at 16.5 and measure stockers(uppers) and go from there?

I could have bought adjustable uppers and corrected my pinion angle but I had tight funds then. It took 1/2" to get my pinion angle semi decent. 16" lowers and stock uppers is what I got now. 16 1/4 is what RC gives you for a length on their fixed lower arms at 4.5". Trial and error
