You should be about 22.25-22.5
which clevis spacer did you get?
Not sure what happened along the line but the first set I got and installed on mine put me at 23 , its on 501s now and still about 22.75.
But using the largest clevis spacer gives you some more lift

I got the biggest clevis spacer they had.
Is it possible that something didn't get put back in right or something and that's why it's sitting lower then it should??

JBA makes great stuff but, I saved $100 with Rocky road outfitters upper control arms and yet to have an issue thus far. The only difference is mine are black and JBA is red.

Only difference is color :signs8::signs8:
Ok
Sooooo...educate me...what is the difference other than the color? I've seen a few local KJ's with RRO upper's and no issues, but I seem to find a lot of hate/disdain for anything RRO around this forum...mostly customer service related, but still... I'm all ears!

Match them up side to side, better welds, better overall quality etc. YES I have seen both side to side and the difference was plainly visible. PLUS if you have issues, it will be your fault that the part broke. With JBA you call and a new set is shipped out if there ever is any issues at all .
Its not hate / disdain on this forum, check Toyota and other forums as well. As a matter of fact I had heard of RRO before I ever bought my Liberty back in 2004 from good friends who had tried to deal with them back in the late 90s/early 2000s .
One great story is they were using a nice looking well built Toyota pickup saying how many RRO parts were on it. Finally someone spotted it and told the owner ( who had never bought anything from them. ) They just pulled photos and used them as their own.

Ok thanks...I just haven't seen or heard of any upper arms failing from either manufacturer, so I was curious. Customer service from two of the three places I've been dealing with has been excellent (RRO is one of them), so I'm really looking more at the materials/components.

I do have to send a great big Thank you to RRO for saving me a ton of money a few years back .
If it wasn't for them and their OTT spacers I would of never gotten an ARB that was less than a year old for less than 1/5 of a new one. :roflsquared: Of course a good Jeep family ended up thinking you could never lift a KJ but oh well I got a deal. Funny thing is people are still buying into those OTT type lifts
