are LCAs required for a 28" tire? this thread has me confused as hell...im about to go mount mine and push down on the back of my car real hard to see if i can get it to rub..

^ I think he is getting the weight-jacker style to push upward on the spring perch. I would think that going upward of stock would be advantageous to have adjustable length as well. I think the arm will become "short" as the car goes upward.

What in the world do control arms have to do with tires rubbing the fender? I was running the regular ole $100+ summit uppers and loweres with poly bushings going 1.4x 60fts and never rubbed anything(I take that back, I rubbed the parking brake line on the drags). OP, if you take a stock rear spring and cut one coil off it will sit like this on a 28in tire.

This is what it looked like with stock springs. It made a HUGE difference just cutting one coil.

I've never rubbed.



Taking the squat out is key, and tucking the wheels in helps.



my car was low, as you can see here

im not sure why im rubbing. but im running a 28 inch tall tire because i cross the line at the end of the track at 6200rpms, with the shift light screaming at me. and yea thats crapital, i live 2 minutes from there.
