Default Full Traction 3" Ultimate install ???s

What is involved to install adjustable control arms such as Full Traction's ultimate lift? I've seen WOL's directions for installing the basic econo lift but how do you adjust the adjustable arms on the ultimate lift. Is it trial and error or is it clear how to set the length of the arms? I've searched but haven't been able to find a thread about this.

Thanks

WOL is working on an ultimate write up. It is a little bit trial and error. Go a little shorter on the uppers and a little longer on the lowers.

Maybe everyone with the ultimate can chime in on the length of their control arms to give you a place to start.

In the back you dont want to push the lowers out too far or your coils will rub on the track bar.

Mine rubs, but i was trying to get the rear pinion corrected. it's still way to steep.

My advice start from stock length and adjust from there. I dont have any of the measurements from mine.
