Not trying to hijack thread but has anyone used or know how well the control arms are with the 4" kit.

Not spacers for the shocks; 32s would clear plenty fine on the 4" lift. But without wheel spacers, and the stock backspacing being around 6 1/4", the wheels would rub the calipers. RC 4" lift calls for 4.5" backspacing - so using a 1.5" Wheel spacers will allow for stock wheels to be used.

They will adjust your caster to some certain fixed amount, but you can not fine tune to your specific vehicle or any future changes you make. (2door with no added weight vs 4door will full armor would likely drive very differently with those arms...)
But the price doesn't seem bad for a 4" kit with full arms.
Ahh, just saw that the kit comes with cam bolts also. There is your fine tuning. (if you choose to use them)

cam bolts are crap. get the adjustable arms. Search cam bolts and read about the guys that used them and then went adj. arms. To use cam bolts you have to cut notches in your control arm brackets. if you decide to go back to stock or use adj arms because the cam bolts dont adjust enough then you have to get your brackets rewelded.
