Hello,

Adjustable control arms will allow you to move the rear end back or forth if needed. In most cases this is only needed when running a 28" tall tire or larger, if the tire rubs on a front or rear fender well this allows you to move it foward or back for room. Also during a custom rear end installation we find these very useful.

Now there is other benefits to our control arms. We supply our adjustable control arms with spherical bearing rod ends, this allows adjustment as well as helps to eliminate rear end bind on a handling application.

What type of driving do you do with the vehicle?

Based on your driving, I wouldn't see any reason why these would not work the best for you- www.umiperformance.com/2015.aspx

If you have any questions regarding them please ask and I am glad to help.

Thank you!

Adjustable LCAs also help with alignment. My rear was a bit off with the stock parts.
