Founders Adjustable LCA Types / Necessary for Lowering?

Founders has five different types of adjustable LCAs available at varying prices:

23965 single swivel, single large end adjuster, on car adjustable

23962-SA single swivel, single small end adjuster, on car adjustable

23962 double swivel, double small end adjuster, on car adjustable

23813 fixed end, single slightly offset medium end adjuster

23814 fixed end, single slightly offset medium end adjuster (Same as 23813 but 3 Piece Poly-Joint Bushings and not greasable)

I fail to see what makes some of these 'on car adjustable' while others are not. I described them best I could to keep them straight.

Second part, this says in post #1 Founders doesn't recommend adjustable LCAs for lowering, only a PHB. If that's the case then we only need LCARBs and not LCAs? I plan on contacting them, but I thought I'd check with people who have them first.

Re: Founders Adjustable LCA Types / Necessary for Lowering?

None of that is necessary to lower.
BUT you'll find out pretty quick what you want to fix after lowering.
But this all depends on how low.
Start with LCARBS then a PHB. Then decide where to go from there.

Yeah, LCARBs are already in the cart, was planning on Vogtland springs which are only a 1.2" drop. Figured out a lot of stuff while making the post, but since I had all the part numbers, I figured I'd post it for others to reference.

The relocation brackets are a very good addition for a lowered car
