06 Rubicon 4 Currie Lift and Cam Bolts

[BryantJT]

All, I'm in the process of installing a 4" Currie Lift and am a bit stumped on the front lower control arms. The oem cam washers were pretty snug in the horseshoe. The Currie supplied washers have a solid 1/8" of play in the horseshoe.

Do I try and center them or roll the axle to put them at one end of the slot or try and reuse the oem washers?

Also, the instructions don't account for anyone living where they salt the roads. I've had to cut the shock studs off, cut the drive'rs LCA in 2 pieces and cut out the lower mounting bolt on both sides of the arm to get the axle side freed up.

Thanks, just placed an order. Hoping they arrive before I have to go back to work on Tuesday.

Those are the same things I also use.

Blaine's pretty good at getting stuff shipped efficiently.

I just used the factory washers when I installed mine. They are press fit on the bolt side, but a couple quick taps with the hammer frees them up.

Sounds good, I'll at least be able to move forward and change out the washers before final alignment.

Front end is squared away.

For the rear, I installed the included trackbar relocator from the Currie kit that says it's compatible with the stock one but the axle is offset 1" to the passenger side. Looks like I need an adjustable rear track bar too.

Money suck isn’t it, have you decided you need lockers yet?

 

[BryantJT]

So far my oem lockers are working.

Don’t you love salted roads? My Currie install went pretty smooth once I got the broken bolts out of the way

 

[BryantJT]

Yeah, I had to drill a hole in the tub to cut off a rear shock bolt as well.
