Yea I haven't had a chance to change my sig lol. We made the control arms about two full twists smaller on the lower fronts and I think 1 1/2 twists on the uppers. Rears were two full twists smaller aswell. Got the pinion angle to right at 4 degrees aswell.

Well thank you! I also called MC about the front sway bar links being so long. Was told they are that way because of the amount of droop the suspension allows. The longer links keep the say bar from going inverted. Was assured that the longer link causing the sway bar to be at such a drastic looking angle would be perfectly fine. Looks like I'll be swapping the rears off the front and put the correct ones on later today Sent from my iPhone using JK-Forum
