Adjustable upper rear control (trailing) arms?

[HDJdreams]

I tried searching, just found threads on upper front A arms.

I am looking for adjustable REAR upper control arms for my 200. Ideally adjustable on vehicle and with OEM style rubber bushings.

Does anybody know of any? Would adjustable 80 arms work?

Toyota Rear Upper Control Arms ?

Just out of curiosity why are you looking for them? We have them on our 80 to compensate for a 6” lift and pinion angle but most people don’t lift a 200 enough for it to be a problem from what I’ve seen.

My rig came with TT’s lowers on it. They seem long, maybe not. My rear wheels definitely sit further towards the back of the wheel well BEFORE the suspension is cycled.

Adjusting the lowers to correct pinion angle only makes it worse.

The TT’s are well built units, but I would prefer OEM style rubber bushings.

My lowers are an 1/8" short than stock with the JJ all the way in and can extend 1.5" safely from there. To my knowledge no one makes an on vehicle turnbuckle style with OE style bushings on each end.

Turning your lowers all the way in lined up the lower Ujoint almost exactly in-line with the driveshaft (which would be great if the other end had a CV). Even then the rear wheels were closer to the rear edge of the wheel well than front edge when unladen.

When I adjusted the lower arms so that the angles matched on both ends of driveshaft, the wheels are really far back in the wheel well.

@TRAIL TAILOR how much shorter than stock can your upper arms be adjusted?

I'll have to measure but IIRC, 1" shorter than stock. Will be tomorrow before I can get that measurement.

Check Out Slee Offroad in Golden, CO (sleeoffroad.com). I was looking at 80 series parts, but it appeared they had adjustable, bolt-on OE replacement arms for 80s, 100s, and 200s. If not, they also sell the weld-in adjusters for any arms.
