I haven't seen a single ad for adjustable rear upper control arms for 'em. I've seen control arms but they are stock length with JJ's on rod ends on them to loosen the rear up a little Surely with any amount of lift the working angles on the u-joints (rear driveshaft) are out of spec., especially those of you running 4" (or more) of suspension lift. I suspect that a couble cardon (CV) joint rear driveshaft is required, but to use that the pinion needs to be adjusted upwards.

I have 3" AP's with the axle pushed back about 1-2". I wish I had gone with a longer leaf... like the chevy's. and I adjusted everything with the stuff "tacked" in place. then welded. another option would be to just make your own custom JJ HD arms and brackets. that's probly not a bad idea....
