I do not know of any sequence. I adjust each LCA first because they are usually the hardest. With only half a turn, you should be able to line up the bolt again pretty easily, but, you may have to have someone rock the truck a little. Also, using a long thick punch one one side can help you pry the control arm into place to slide the bolt from the other side. I would do it with the truck sitting on level ground.
This is pretty much what I would say! You don't have to necessarily start from one particular side, but always best to get the wheelbase set first with the lowers, than move on to the uppers as long as the track bars are already in.

Another thing to make note of here that a lot of guys/shops get wrong is that you don't have to force the uppers to be the same exact length. You only need to technically set your caster angle with one of the uppers, then just make the 2 or 3 turns on the adjustable joint to get the other side to bolt up without trying to force anything or shift the axle. This will take a lot of stress off of your front axle and track bar and keep your bushings from wearing away prematurely :like:

We've been getting a ton of questions regarding our front long-arm kit that you may or may not have seen on our website!

I wanted to wait until everything was finished before officially updating this page, and today our good friend Ben from JK Gear and Gadgets put out an awesome video going over everything included in the kit as well as what the installation process looks like.

I'll leave a link to the video and product below, but I am also happy to answer any questions on the kit here. This kit is currently on sale as part of our Black Friday promotion as detailed in a post above!

Sorry I missed this! Yes this works for the diesel as well, ours is actually a diesel, and rear kits should be out late this month or May!

Here's mine with the 3.5 Clayton Overland and .5 Terraflex spacers to take out the rake. This Lift with the Fox 2.0 Performance Shocks rides so much better than stock. Love this Lift - Really Quality Components!

looks great and the ride surprised me as well with the Clayton kit but I’m running the falcon sp2 3.3s and it is so much better than stock on my Mojave

How do you like the Falcon 3.3's? Thinking of these later for the adjustability

I read a bunch of bad reviews about how terrible and stiff they made it ride etc but I have been loving mine I run mine in the cold/soft setting on the shaft and then 2.3 front and 2.5 rear and it rides amazing. I would say at least 3 times better than the factory Mojave suspension

Front drive shaft is extra. I also installed the rear spring retainers from Teraflex. At full droop, the rear springs could unseat.
