I'm not sure on the length you need to start with. It doesn't say a starting point to put them at in the instructions? The other thing you may be able to do is call Rough Country and ask them to give you measurements on the arms for the NON-adjustable kit. That should put you in the ballpark atleast. Just a thought.
