I just did another search and you can still find a few sites that say 5", but I am wondering if it was ever 5" or if it was always 4.75".

They may be only 1/2" longer because that's what the website says, but the box they came in had 1" forward wrote on it and the guy said they were 1" longer. No signs of contact though under compression.

Less than 1/2" I think. With 3" of lift you only want 1/2" longer arms. Any more and there's a chance for parts interfering.

You are correct about them being too long! I have some issues with mine being 1" over...they are making some 1/2" one for me since I have problems with these. Basically what happens is under compression your track bar bracket and/or bar will hit your diff and maybe the coil bucket on the driver side. So unless you have about 5-6 inches of lift they will be too long.

Don's are 7 bills. Carli's are $900 or so I think. Not sure what KORE charges.

Hey Pauly.....what's your input on these Centerlines with no leveling kit on my '07.5..... 20x8.5 6" backspacing, +32 mm offset with some LT35x13.50R20 Cooper Discoverer STT's ? Should I run LT35x12.50R20's instead ?

I'd run the 12.50 Greg. The 13.50s might be wide enough to scrub on the control arms. But the wheel will be a great fit!

Greg, go for them, Centerline makes a very stout and beautifully finished wheel, The fit will probably be as close to stock as you will get and they should look great. I was actually looking at that very same wheel myself.

I agree with Pauly get the 12.50's
