Everyones lifts are different especially with heavy bumpers, winches, tire carriers, So those numbers are a good starting point.
You may want to tack weld up your arms first them mount them. You could check your camper and pinion angle at that time. You would need a good angle finder. There are some magnetic mount readers for camber available also. Then you could weld them up and be good to go. Its alot of work! Goodluck

Several companies sell 'fixed' arms, or a Fixed/adj combo. Touch base with them to see what lengths they are using for your lift height.

I have 2.5 teraflex coil and Dave from Northridge recommended to me to also get front adj trackbar and adj front lowers and I should be plenty fine. I have the lift in except the lower control arms or trackbar! It rides great with the stock 32's so far. This week I will be put on my 35 MTRs on and drive it see how it drives. Then install the lowers and front trackbar by next weekend!
