Rear lower control arms

iirc the LT's added length is simply to return the wheel to center when the lift has moved it forward in the wheelwells.

The problem isn't at ride height (maybe if you're worried about cosmetics) it's at stuff, that is where big tires are difficult to fit.

The adjustable uppers are to compensate for pinion angle change.

Agree, if needed, but don't see the need for adjustable? If they need to be longer, figure the angle change, new arm length, cut them and sleeve to the new length. Have had several of the adjustable arms come loose, "self adjust" or fully unscrew.
 
oh! i was presuming flares were gonezo..... i cant imagine on full stuff that flares will work with 37s without a minimum of 2" bumpstopping if not more.

If you arent running wheel spacers of 1" or more on close to stocker rim specs......full stuff is going to contact the inside of wheelwell..... And if you are running spacers to miss on the inside ....you will be hitting flares on the outside.

That first pic of Adams it isnt even close to full stuff and will hit the flare at the 2:00 spot if stuffed further. adam is that hitting your bumpstops in pic 1? I cant seem to find a good stuff pic.....but With flares gone- i can tuck the 12:00 top of my outer wheel inside of the body upper wheelwell at full flex "on" the bumpstops............and can barely slip a pinky in almost the entire wheelwell front to back.

The main problem is that if you are running adjustable panhards in front and rear ----your axle can be centered at no flex with adjustable panhards------- but once you start flexing---the axle has more side to side movement than if your panhard angle was corrected on the axle side by raising the panhard mount.

No, neither of those pics are anywhere close to full stuff. When/if I move to 37's I'll address the flares if needed. I already have 2" bumpstop extensions. My new wheels were delivered today with 4" of BS which is slightly more "poke" than the stock wheels so I should miss the inside of the wheel wells. Like I said, I don't have a problem with trimming etc if it ends up be necessary with 37's but that won't happen anyway until these tires are worn out.
 
We have about 6-7 rigs locally that run 37 s with flairs and minimum rub at full stuff. Can be done with stock control arms. Not worried about tire position while parked. Don't need to be centered front to rear or side to side while parked if your really gunna wheel,
