Upper control arm?

[Bullet]

I'm going to be putting adjustable uppers on my XJ this weekend and am not sure how I find out what length they should be adjusted to.

Is there a basic guideline for the amount of lift?

usually a 1/8th to a 1/4 inch longer than stock. then adjust your lenghts for your pinion from there.
