If it were me, I'd do all lift additions first, then tires, then bumpers. Just my .

Nice... I'm jealous! We had to use the stimulus rebate to pay the hospital bill for our 3rd child.

Call Currie and ask, but I don't know why they wouldn't work. I set mine to the stock length, as per the instructions, and they are great.

And also, I think someone was selling a set of Currie arms in the sale section. Might be too good to pass up!

They are not called "adjustable" control arms for nothing! They came out of the box within one turn of stock length.

Yeah, I know they are adjustable, but I didn't know they would be adjustable all the way down to stock lengths.

If you have the extra cash, you better scoop them up from Citmrun while he still has them. I haven't seen used Currie arms available.... ever.

You can pick them up directly from Currie. I also really like the Clayton arms. They use the same joints, and have a lifetime warranty
