So im having all 8 of my rock krawler control arms installed and we ran into a little issue. The new arms pushed my axel back about 2 inches. this is causing my coils to bow and my rear track bar to hit the coil on the passenger side. i have read around on other forums and found out that this is a common issue but could find an answer. we have tried turning the arms all the way in but they are still an inch longer than stock length. my coils will still bow but will not hit the trackbar. to get my pinion angle right tho my upper arms need to be lenghtened. this in turn bows my coils again and makes contact with the track bar.
my questions are-
1. any ideas on how to fix it
2. should i ditch the rear lower arms and just run the upper arms that way my axel isnt pushed to far back and i can still get my pinion angle right?
3.what is the proper pinion angle i thought it was the driveshaft should sit straight, but i feel like im wrong now.
Part 2-
also my front got pushed an inch forward as well. this caused my coils to bend a little as well and make sontact with my sway bars. both arms are turned in all the way and cant be adjusted in any more. im lost as to what i should do.
current lift is teraflex 2.5" (yeilds 3.25"). 2011 2 door sport.
