LCAs should be at 16" and the upper control arms should be between 15.25 and 15.5"

the key to this is to adjust your lower control arms out until your coils are strait. then adjust the uppers to set your pinion angle. it helps to stepback and look at axle from the side and eyeball it to somewhat.

stick to my recommendations as that is what I used based from:

Pinion angles set correctly can still cause the coil spring to bow one way when you have lift. The only way to correct the coil sping bowing is to relocate your buckets or go back to stock height.
