I am asking for someone who has or has access to a RE long arm suspension on a tj to go out and tell me wha tthe degrees are of the front upper arms and the front lower arms..

Basically put a angle finder on the upper arm and tell me what that number is
then put the angle finder on the lower arm and tell me what that number is

I would really appreciate it

Sincerly

PS: I belive I posted this once before but I cant for the life of me find that post or see if anyone responded

How would it possibly help you to know those angles????

Everybodys will be different.

well according to my logic... if I have RE short arm lift... and Im asking for a long arm lift degree angle, according to my logic I can make my own long arm suspension without having to deal with all the goemetry aspects, keep the same angles and get the same performance.

and concidering that all TJ's are 93.4 inches in wheelbase "everybody's will NOT be different" even if I stretched my wheel base but kept the same angles that would mean it would function as if I did nothing to the wheelbase
at least thats my logic

I was planning on using my stock upper adjustable control arms and just attaching them to the newly made lowers but would need the same angles to get the same performance

Actually, if you are running 4" springs and some one chimes in with 6" springs, your angles will be set for a 6" lift, not a 4 inch on a stock wheel base.

Also extending the wheel base will decrease your angles.

you need to look at a 4 link calculator. you will get a good start there

would a 4 link calc for the front be different then a 4 link calc for the rear?

Well if you ever looked at a TJ with RE's long arm kit or even looked at RE's web site you would know that the front upper link doesn't even go back to the frame, it goes to the front lower link. Its a radius arm setup.
