Figure 14-2
• You can now bleed the brake system.
15. INSTALL LOWER CONTROL ARMS
• Remove the stock control arms and save the mounting hardware
• We recommend that you preset the length of the lower control arms. For 3-4.5” of lift,
we recommend a length of 20.25” measured from the center to center of the bushings.
This length works well when using the stock length upper control arms and for longer
upper control arms when using a CV style rear drive line. If you need to point the pinion
up to use a CV style rear driveline, try to only lengthen the upper arms and leave the
lowers at 20.25”. Turn the Johnny joint so that the grease fitting is adjacent to the
adjuster pinch bolt.
• Install the new control arms with the bend upward. The bushing goes at the axle end
and the Johnny Joint goes at the frame end with the pinch bolt and grease zerk on the top.
Reuse the factory mounting bolts. See Figure 15-1
• Hand tighten the control arm bolts, wait until the end of the installation and the Jeep is
sitting at ride height before you torque these bolts.
