Control arms and lift kits- Length?

[JLinder]

For those of you who have lifted Rams, could you measure the eye to eye on your aftermarket control arms along with what size lift you have?





I forgot to measure my Skyjacker arms when I still had them in my hands.



Thanks a bunch.

I have the 2. 5" Skyjacker -

Upper links were same length as stock.

Lower links were about 3/16 longer (sorry I can't be exact... )

Well, my 2 1/2" Skyjacker Double Flex kit came with the fully

adjustable control arms with heim joints at both ends. The

installer didn't really know what he was doing I think, as he left

the front axle as far forward as it could possibly go, and the axle

off center by a good 2 inches (I had the DT track bar installed at

the same time). I got the truck up on 12 ton jack stands and

readjusted the track bar and control arms myself until things

were as centered as I could get them. I didn't measure them

afterwards, so I can't say what they currently are exactly.

Anybody have a 4. 5" or 5" kit that is willing to measure the control arm length?

When the temps get above single digits here and snow stops I will measure mine. The new lifts that are 6-7" you have to grind off the lower arm holder and weld or bolt the new arm holder back farther on the frame the dick cepek arms are like 48" they also give 10" up and down travel for the front axle.

I have the double flex kit as well, in the 4. 5" and acording to the directions from Skyjacker the center to center openings of the hiem joints should be 19 11/16" for the Lower arm and the upper should be 17 1/8" long again they are adjustable.
