Rear control arm help
I have 3" susp lift with fixed length Warrior Products front and rear LCA's designed for 3" lift. I'm happy with the front, the rear however, to help correct the driveline angle, WP rear LCA's are about an inch shorter than OE arms. Aren't I loosing some flex with that shorter rear LCA? Can I install adj rear LCA's and upper adj control arms to stretch it out while correcting the driveline angle? Any info is much appreciated!

at just 3" of lift, you really don't want to push back your rear axle with lower lca's too much. even if you correct your driveline angle with adjustable uppers, you will still run into issues with spring bow and them contacting things like your track bar.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. Am I losing any travel with the shorter than oe arms? I don't know exactly how much shorter they are, was around .5" to an inch. Or is it worth keeping the WP arm, as they do tilt the rear axle up a bit to help correct the driveshaft angle? Or stick with OE arms? Thank you
