I would take off your factory lowers and line up the core lowers to be the same length then put the cores on. Then remove the uppers, adjust the cores to be that length and put the upper cores on.

Unless you have a rear alignment issue, that's what I would do. If you're trying to correct an issue, maybe need some pictures and to know what the issue is

Yea if your current/factory arms are the correct length, just measure them and make the cores the same length.

I assume the lift kit came with either drop brackets for the arms or longer arms?

That’s all I did, remove one arm at a time, measure and replace. Make
Sure to use blue lock tight on your arms when you tighten. Now, 135Flbs is all you need, maybe 145 for lower if find not tight enough. Don’t go any tighter as you will be blowing out bushings. And make sure you keep them greased up. These aren’t factory arms so no need to over tighten them. I have had mine on since June and haven’t had no issues and the back end feels a whole
Better. I replaced the Fabtech end links with core as well as the track bar. and also added the hellwig sway bar.
