You can use the TF instruction sheet as a starting point/guide and fine tune it from there...

Uh, he's lookin for the full traction la measurements, not TF flexarms. The longarms are gonna be quite a bit different on eye to eye measurements.

Front adjustable track bar - 33 1/8 inches
Rear adjustable track bar - 40 1/8 inches
Front upper control arms - 27 3/4 inches
Driver side front lower control arm - 33 9/16 inches
Passenger side front lower control arm - 33 11/16 inches
Rear upper control arms - 19 1/2 inches
Rear lower control arms - 35 1/8 inches


The different caster from left to right on the front works well on the highway crown we have in Utah to keep the vehicle from drifting to the side. You may find a slight change is required where you live.
All other standard TeraFlex terms and conditions apply to the long arm upgrade kit.
..... Sorry...20/20 hindsight (didnt review your signature), didnt realize you had a 4" Long arm kit....I couldnt find any info on the Full Traction LA, but the above info is from TeraFlex's 4" Long arm kit...Again, it could be a starting point/Guide...Hope this helps...

I found the answer, I send an email to full traction and they send me back the starting measurements of the Control arms. and this is it.

I'm going to put it here if some one need it.

Any way thanks for the Help!!!

Have a nice day!!!!
