it doesnt come with controll arms. it a "basic" 3.5" kit...it does come with cam bolts tho.

Featuring an adjustable front track bar, front and rear replacement coil springs, front and rear cam bolts for caster and pinion adjustment, bump stops, rear track bar bracket, brake line relocation brackets, and rear extended sway bar end links. The factory control arms and other components are retained.

Sorry Spooky Jeep, I don't think any of those answers helped you yet. I don't have that setup, but I'm sure someone will chime in. Chalk one up for the new Forum Manager

I take offense to that. Just how is my post not helpful? I do in fact have the exact lift on my 09 JK. I was merely using humor to point out the fact that the cambolts are JUNK and that a set of adjustable front control arms (upper or lower) are in order. Take your pick, either will work fine to achieve the needed caster.
