Control arm relocation brackets question

Hi

I just installed my new Umi lower control arm relocation brackets and I didn't know which hole I should install the lower control arm into out of the three that are offered on the bracket? Do you have any recommendation or explanation of the difference between them? Thanks!

It depends on how much yours is lowered or how much wheel hop you have.

Any adj. part like that, I like to start with middle adjustment/setting and see how it works, change to next one and see if thats any better or not.

I mean once the brackets are on, it only takes 10 min to swap the arms to the next set of holes.

Put a angle finder on your rear control arm. I have a 2* -3* rear down angle and it works great.

Good way to eyeball it is, the rear end of the LCA should be about ½ - ¾" closer to the ground than the "frame" end.
