hey i installed my rear upper adjustable control arms today, and i took out the transfer case spacers. my question is how much should i extend the arms for a 2 inch lift or is the best way to just play with it untill the vibes disappear?? atm ive only pushed them out 7 mm over stock because i forgot to get the shock brackets so the shocks foul on the coil bucket. But how far should i rotate the diff ??

And how do i take all the mounting brackets off the brake lines ?? so i can just cable tie them and make it neat

thats next on the list with a DC driveshaft on such a small lift the arms should be enough to correct the angle, well so ive heard

I'd be interested in how far you end up winding them out... I wound mine out about 10 mm yesterday to tweak some vibes I had. Seems ok .. will more interesting as my fuel tank heads towards empty and the ass of the truck rides up a bit on the springs.

you can always notch the coil bucket to clear the shocks or get shock relocation bracket for the diff end of the shock.

From what ive heard and read you can i plan on gettin an sye and dc driveshaft at some point but ive spent enough in the last two weeks. before i get 33's and bigger lift ill definatly get the driveshaft sorted properly. BTW the only joint i keep blowing is the one closest to the diff so just need to take some pressure off it.

ill just push it out another 5 mm and it should be perfect hopefully if not it will be up on stands and changed
