How much does the 6" drop move the rear out of alignment?

How long is the control arm (from center of eye to center of eye) to center it back in the wheel well?

Thanks

The 6" drop pulls the rear end forward a good amount, definitely noticeable. I can't speak to exact measurements but I used the Spohn adjustable upper and lowers with my 6" drop and they work perfectly, along with the Spohn adjustable panhard bar.

Hey Cory,

Thanks for the info.
I'll have to take some measurements when I'm dropped and go from there.

I had a shop install the kit, pretty sure they just lengthened the bars to center the wheels. I would guess Tony (NorcalSS) would be able to speak to how pinion angle figures in when using these.
