Control arm measurements for lifts

[Abyss]

Recently I bought a 2.5” metal cloak game changer lift and I can’t seem to find the measurements for the adjustable control arms. They have the measurements on their website for stock and the 3.5” lift but nothing for 2.5”. If anyone could help me find this info it would help me out a lot. Thanks.

I would adjust to the 3.5 specs then fine tune for caster up front and pinion angle in back. That may just be me though.

Set it up for 3.5” check it and adjust if necessary. The thing is, you don’t get exactly advertised lift height so it’s gonna vary from Jeep to Jeep……

Here are Clayton’s starting measurements. A lot of members have had good success with these.

MC add a caster by shortening the uppers. Can’t remember the thread pitch, but see if a full rotation will lengthen the uppers an 1/8 from the measurement. That will pull 3/8 instead of 1/2”.

I like to over analyze.

Also, I don’t like how MC calls for shortening front uppers to get a preferred caster number. I prefer all the others that lengthen the lowers instead.

It might help to know that any CA measurements a lift manufacturer gives you is only ballpark accurate. What matters is the castor and pinion angles you end up with after the CAs are installed and the suspension is carrying the full weight of the Jeep. Those measurements only get you reasonably close.

This is true, but reasonably close is usually good enough as even angle finders aren’t perfect. The only perfect option would be an actual alignment but I’ve found no need for a laser after starting with those numbers and finishing with a digital angle finder.

I ordered the same lift and emailed metalcloak, but if u don't want to shorten your wheelbase a guy with YouTube channel frost bite jl installed the same lift, he kept his UCA stock, and the LCA were 24 5/8. Also if u need front track bar 34.5, rear track bar 37 3/4. Lite Brite did a video installing the true dual rate MC 3.5 lift also
