Long LCA install

I would suggest that anyone with stock suspension that has no aspirations of adding a lift kit go with the Mopar LCA's and pocket the difference.
If your thinking your going to install a lift kit, change springs or other serious suspension modification go with the adjustable aftermarket ones you will be much happier because an alignment shop will be able to dial in the settings better to meet your needs.
Just one clarification: The adjustable LCAs must be set to the proper length while installing. The install shop (or DIYer) fine-tunes the length using an angle finder during installation. An alignment shop can't adjust them without removing and reinstalling the LCAs, which tends to be outside their scope. An exception would be the rare, pricey turnbuckle units, but I've never heard of anyone installing those, and I doubt an alignment shop would mess with them anyway.

@OldVetteGuy was able to get to 5.9°/6.0° with the 24.25" arms, which is unusual, and he's obviously happy with the result. At 6°, he is completely dialed in. But...I wouldn't count on duplicating that feat. Most people end up closer to 5°, even with the MOPAR units. One thing is for certain: the process is physically challenging, and you'll want to get it right the first time.
