I was wondering if arms were the way to go after seeing the video about them hanging down and hitting stuff, do I need 4 arms or just the lower ones ?
has any one installed the brackets to lower the front control arms back down after installing a lift ? I was looking at the Rough Country ones, I was hoping it well help with hiway steering
decided to order lowers and readjust my alignment, well let you all know how different it steers after there on. many thanksHow high is your lift? As WOL said, I wouldn't bother in most circumstances and def. do the arms instead to fix caster. But if you lifted like 5-6" or something crazy it may be a way to avoid going long arms.

Call me dumb, call me a newb.. but if you make your front lowers longer, how can you keep your front uppers same length? I've been confused on this for a while and just want to do it properly before I order control Arms.
If you're looking at the axle from the side (the wheel hub), the axle twists when you adjust the lower or upper arms. If you extend the lower arms, the upper axle mount stays in the same spot but pivots on the upper bolt. The upper arm length doesn't change. This makes the pinion point down further. Because the axle is one solid piece, ANY time you change caster, your pinion angle will also change.
I couldn't ask for a better explanation. Thanks brotha.
Would it still not better to get adjustable uppers AND lowers to re-centre the axel itself back to original geometry lost from your short arms pulling it in due to the angle of your arms/tight radius.
