need a measurment RE short arms

[dieter]

I picked up a set of RE 3.5 springs, and I need to know the length of the front a rear lower control arms for the RE super-flex system. I need it to be measured from eye to eye on the control arms. Thanks

Do you mean for the fixed arms or adjustable? I just set my adjustable arms approximately ¾" longer than the factory arms when I installed the 4.5 springs. I'd guess somewhere between ½"-¾" longer than stock should work for the 3.5 springs.

I think the instructions said to start at .25 inches longer than factory and go longer if you need to. You can also call RE, the staff there is very helpful and is more than willing to give technical help.

I think that will help for a good starting point. I have the terra flex adjustable control arms and my springs are shot, so I got some 3.5 springs to replace them with.

If you don't have any armor or bumpers on your Jeep, then the springs will probably start at 5" of lift (at least mine did). It later settled to a little over 4.25 inches. Now I am probably sitting between 3.5 and 4 inches with all the armor/bumpers/winch on it. You will spend some time adjusting the steering wheel and toe with those springs since they seem to settle a lot.
