for what i learned and experience for every inch and 1/4 inch to ur bottom trailing arm and double that for ur upper trailing arm. for example, i got a 4 inch lift, so i took my trailing arms to a race car shop and the extended my lower 1 inch and my upper 1 3/4 and it work out well. my tire is centered and my rearend and driveshaft are in straight line instead the angle use to be in. also u might have to extend ur driftshaft also which a race car shop does all the time if u have go shop in ur area.
