Upper Control Arms with lift

[Bigmac18]

I have 3" of lift up front and am in need of new control arms. The Rough Country UCAs says it will only work with a minimum of 3.5" of lift....
Has Anyone had any luck with these ebay upper control arms? They say good for 2"-4" of lift.

NNBS? You can use the Rough Country ones. Youll be fine.

Both will fit

I need new ones too. My stock control arms are in pretty bad shape, but they are holding up. Let me know how you make out if you put those on.

I have the RCX, very pleased so far (maybe 12k miles)

OK, thanks for the feedback, I wasn't sure if there would be alignment issues if I was under 3.5" of lift
....maybe I'll just have to throw on some more lift? Hmmmmmm.

I used the rough country ones with a 2.5 level up front. My alignment guy say it was simple to install and align.

Don't go more than 3.5 unless you're dropping your lower control arms and adding some spindles, as a true lift kit. at 3.5" that thing is MAXED out.

I decided to go with a set of Freedom off-road control arms.

Ya, I don't want to go any higher, I think I'm pushing it at 3" as it is.
I am looking into some Bilstein 5100s now, since I'll have the front end apart anyways. I am pushing 80k on the original shocks, with about 20k of that with the lift. And I think the rears are shot anyways.
I'll post up as I progress with this project.

If youre doing the Bilstein adjustables, just leave them at 0. Your front end will thank you.

Just a note if you havent already purchased them - another nice thing about the RCX is it uses a MOOG ball joint, available at nearly any auto parts store. So if you needed a BJ in a hurry (I mean, who doesn't), you dont have to wait for the MFG to send one, you can just go pick one up.
