I need to know the control arm angles for a stock TJ at ride height to have a baseline for my longarm modeling.

Thanks in advance.

Just go to a dealership and measure one. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
Or isn't there a Jeep dealer in alaska?

Stock the arms are almost horizontal. Might be a dumb question, but what would this have to do with setting up long arms? <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">
You'll never match the stock angle with lift springs in there, even with the long arms...

i just so happen to have a stock TJ sitting in my driveway. (hey shut up) My dad just bought a tj so im trying to get him to do something to it. Ill crawl under there tonight with the angle finder and check out the lowers.

Yes there are Jeep dealers up here, but they seem to have a problem with you crawling under a new jeep with measuring equipment. Not to mention that I wasnt in the mood to crawl through 8 inches of fresh snow to get under one (I know, cry me a river). I was just hoping that someone living in a little drier climate could help out.

You may be right that I may not be able to match the original angles, but as with any experiment, it is always a good idea to establish a baseline to compare your changes against.

What he said above, nearly horizontal.

Accckkkkk. Don't talk about snow yet!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I have about a month left before I can think about that..

It might be more worth your while to find out the lengths of the Tera, RE, and Skyjacker long arms and go from there...

Good luck <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

The length is not the problem(and for those who want to know Rubicons arms are 36" and Skyjackers are about 28"). I am trying to figure out what the instant center, anti squat,pinion angle change, roll steer and anti dive is for a stock TJ.

As for snow, we have over a foot now and climbing. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
