Installation advice: Adjustable LCA / UCA to correct Pinion Angle

[Kinger07]

Is there a rule of thumb for length to correct pinion angle? Like for every 1'' of lift, adjust control arm by 1/8'' or something like that?? I'm fixing to install adjustable LCA & UCA on 100 series with roughly 3.5'' lift in rear , trying to realign pinion angle with factory geometry. Will probably take it to a shop afterwards regardless to see how close I was for angle, and also an alignment since this is just one part of larger suspension overhaul.

Might also just have shop do it all. but if there is simple rule of thumb I can follow, I would probably give it a go. Thanks!

Check this thread out: Rear Pinion Angle - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-pinion-angle.933860/

Should contain the info you need. I stuck with stock length uppers (oem) and lowers (spc). ~2.5" lift in the rear.

Thanks! Lots of good info there. I recently picked up Trail Tailor's adjustable arms and have been itching to get them on. Also got the extended sway bar links
