Rough Country 4" lift w/ control arms & Tom Woods rear drive shaft
Question fellas... will the longer control arms that come with the Rough Country 4" Series ll kit correct the pinion angle created by installing a Tom Woods rear drive shaft?? Or will I have to buy additional adjustable control arms to compensate for the after market shaft install?? Thanks in advance.

Thanks planman. Why then, knowing that it is necessary to replace the rear drive shaft when lifting a 2dr 4", would they even sell a kit with control arms?? They seem useless...

I'm still new to the aftermarket driveshaft bit, so bear with me here.
Since the new arms supplied with the kit (longer than stock lowers and shorter than stock uppers) bring the axle back to a more 'correct' pinion/caster angle, (allowing a 'stock' like ride, I would assume?), what would an adjustable CA add other than a bit more fine-tuneability?

I know it's not the most desirable way to adjust pinion, but do the rear upper mounts have the slots that you can cut out to use cam bolts instead of adjustable CA's like the front lowers do??? In other words, is there the option to use cam bolts on the rear uppers instead of adjustable CA's???
