So I learned that some upper control arms are a-just-able, go me!

How do you know how long to make the arm,

easy answer-the length that fits your jeep-duh

but is there an advantage, propose, to make the length a diff size then the stock UCA

Thanks

there are 2 puposes that come to mind when you are talking about adjustable control arms. !. relocate the axle to correct psition after lifting the jeep. 2. adjusting caster angles, wich will help you dial in your pinion angle, for proper steering geometry and handling
