    Rear Control Arm Droop

    Does anyone have a measurement of the distance from their rear top and bottom shock mount points with the sway disconnected? I need a rough idea of how much droop their is.

    With the stock shocks installed?

      Nothing installed. Knew I would forget to mention something.

        I don't also might want to note what bushings are in the RTABs, I found B/Js allow a decent amount more droop than bushings (and limiters).

          Thanks George, yea mine have the AKG 95A poly, but I do plan to swap those for B/J.

            I guess along those lines IIRC mine with B/Js will bottom out with the LCA contacting the subframe

                  I have stock RTABs. With shocks, springs, and wheels removed on both sides...

                  Center of the lower shock mounting bolt to the gasket surface of the RSM = 25.5"

                    Stock RTABs with limiters, shocks, springs, wheels and differential removed....forgot about that last part...

                    Without the differential in place, saw 27.5" from same measuring locations as cobra

                      Thank you gents.

                      cobra were you measuring with or without your clevis?

                      fattycharged do you have the carrier removed and upper control arm removed as well?

                        No clevis. To the sheet metal of the chassis.
