Longer control arms

Well I finally got my new tires and rims (hope to put up pick later this week) and the tires rub on the mud flaps when turned hard Is it recommended to lengthen the control arms when all Ive added is the SJ 2.5" springs? The wheel definitely looks uncentered in the wheel well now that I put the springs in but I'm not sure where the longer control arms are really needed? I don't want to pull the mud flaps so... any suggestions?

Rancho says you need new CAs, I don't think NEED is the right word, but they would be nice. The other Nick (GotLift01)was talking about this a few weeks back... Not sure what he said, but he knows a lot more about suspensions than I do. I mostly just read. A LOT...

Well I dont think you have many options. I have heard that you can clear fine with just a 2-3" lift running 35s. But obviously this is not the case. I know someone makes longer control arms for this type of lift. I think its either rancho or superlift.

DT profab makes CA's that are either stock length or you can get them 1/2" longer to help put the rear back where it belongs.
