Cheap 'n Dirty WB stretch?
I've currently got the RE 5.5 LA lift. I like it, but want to modify my lift/rig.
I have (in my garage waiting to be put on) Genrights full corners. I was wondering if a cheap WB stretch would involve buying lower and upper rear control arms for an LJ? I know I'd have to relocated the fuel tank. This could be done via fuel cell in the tub, or the Genright fuel tank. Obviously I would need a longer driveshaft, and possibly longer brake lines. But all that being said,,,would the LJ RE control arms give me some extra WB? Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I can't help but think this would work. Any and all thoughts welcomed. edit: I realize I would need to outboard the rear shocks, reweld the spring perch at the frame, and possibly modify the frame as well. My question is mainly in regards to the control arms themselves.

Alot of guys just push back where they weld on their control arm brackets at the frame..
if you wanna stretch 3-4 inches just weld them 3/4 from where RE would. your gas tank will get hit hard though

I was hoping to be able to re-use the RE tummy skid. This skid incorporates the control arm mounts.

LJ arms will give you way to much stretch like 10 inches i think. You could just cut your arms in half and sleave them with some DOM to get the stretch or you could use the RE lowers as your new uppers and make the lowers.
