2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Extended Control Arms

[Nate]

I was wondering if any of you guys are running extended control arms with just a leveling kit?

I'm going to build a set and I'm trying to figure out a good length. Hoping to get some measurements of actual built/used stuff to help me out.

My tires rub a bit on the inner fender by the doors, and I'd like to eliminate that before I install a set of fender flares (will probably run the flares).

I have a set of Carli's arms on the 3rd gen with 3" springs. I think they are about 1/2 over stock length. On my 2nd gen I have stock length Rancho arms with 2. 5" springs and run 35's on both. Neither rub on the fenders

It all depends on the backspacing of the wheels if it will rub or not. It doesn't rub a ton, but enough to annoy me

I'm using DT profab control arms http://www.dtprofab.com/



The lower arm is 1/2" longer to account for my 2" leveling kit.
