Control arms for 37s
Im thinking about some 37/12.50/18 pro comp xtreme a/ts for my next tires. If I do so I will need some longer control arms made, but how much longer do they need to be? Im just running three inch blocks in the front. I will also be putting on some new wheels but I like the wider look so I want them have as little of back space as I can. Anyone have any input?
Thanks Joel

4.5 to 5" of lift with 5.5 BS on a 8.5 wheel with a 37x13.5 is as close as you are going to cut it.
I have tuff country CA's....maybe just a 1/4" shorter than those might work with 3".

Thanks guys. I may have to throw some on and see what happens. The wheels I have now are 9 wide with 4.75 BS and they dont rub anywhere with 35s. I bet its gonna be close even with new CAs.

Call Mike at LazarSmith, I saw the one's he made for his truck and they are sweet.. Not sure if he makes them for the public, need to check out his site, but they definately are nice.

I usually go 1/2" longer with leveling kit-range lifts (2-3").
Backspacing is a tradeoff between losing lock-to-lock steering and rubbing the plastic fenderwell & chin fairing.
