Mopar LCA swap

That would explain why they’ve been hard to get. They went on back order a month or so ago. Before that they were readily available.

I ordered 4 from All Mopar in Dallas. They had to get two from their extended warehouse. Might see if they have them

I was told that the longer control arms are now standard on some of the newer 2019 JLs (started somewhere in the middle of the 2019 production run). Can anyone confirm?

If true, this would be good news and may go a long way towards fixing the caster/steering issue that some are having.

Hello guys, would it be OK to use them on a stock height Sahara? or would that push caster too far?

I would like the steering return to center to be easier.

So was this accurate?

No one has confirmed.

No one has confirmed.

I crawled under a Gladiator Rubi last weekend and it did have the longer arms as verified by part numbers. It was not lifted or modified. So suspect this is true at least for the Gladiators.

No, it did not push it too far on a Sahara. I am close to 6 with Rubi suspension

Maybe we should ask someone in one of the "I just got my 2019 JL" threads and ask them to look at the LCAs?

Call East Coast Mopar parts in Waldorf MD. They have them in stock. Just picked up 2 pairs.

Good info thanks. I'm going to try and pick up a set next week. I'm running Rubicon springs and shocks...

If you haven't done so yet, it would be a good idea to get an alignment report, which you can get for $19 for the report only no adjustments before you change out your LCAs. That way you have a base line of your caster and other alignment specs.

Every place never me wants $50 just to check alignment.

As far as the longer LCAs, IF they made the longer ones standard, will they make an even longer set to some with the lifts?

Firestone charges $19 for an alignment report. No adjustments, just the report for $19.

All you need is one of these to check caster. Camber & toe won't change with a LCA swap.

I have a “Big Johnson” also!
