    A bit odd the product instructions didn't provide guidance on adjusting the control arms in order to get the ZJ safely driven to the shop for alignment. My 2.5 MC kit for the JK recommended a specific control arm length during installation in order to safely drive for an alignment. Perhaps a call to the manufacturer for guidance on adjusting the control arms?
