Its kind of been mentioned earlier but besides getting the upper control arms with the X-Factor kit, the rear control arms are slightly different from the mid-arm from what I was told. The rear arms push the axle back 1" which helps center the tire more in the wheel well and helps reduce/prevent the need to trim the pinch seam on the Jeep when moving up in tire size. So, if you ever plan on going with 37's, the X-factor is kind of plug and play. If you go with the mid-arm, you will more than likely need to trim your pinch seam so the tires won't rub.

I don;t believe the mid-arm allows for this type of movement because you may be extending the RK joint end too much (over the recommneded setting) and you are not getting upper rear arms so I think your pinion angle would be all screwed up if you just adjusted the lowers.

I went with the X-factor because I needed rear upper arms due to a driveshaft mishap! But I'm glad I did because now I have a complete matching suspension and can easily move up to 37's without having to cut my Jeep up anymore than I arelady have.

No tire or rear bumper and the front has after market bumper with the power plant winch. I was thinking it could be that because it is setting nose down right now. I had it lined up on a machine, would that tell if my axels were setting correctly.

With 35x12.50R17 tires I did not have to trim the pinch seem, but in a full stuff the back of the rear tires hits the stock rear bumper. Not bad though, not enough to catch. If I go with 37's I'll need to cut the rear bumper or replace it.

Make sure you buy the updated rear lower bump stops though. The aluminum block ones don't work with the x-factor without being modified.

Here's a couple pics.
