Default Question on control arms

I'm looking to replace my stock control arms. Any suggestions on what I should and can get? 3 inch lift. Want something great for offroad but don't want to sacrifice much roadibility. Somewhat of a budget, but can make do with what's neccesary. Trying not to "Nickle n dime" everything so nothing breaks.

if you dont need them (you dont) dont buy them. pick up a couple stock ones to carry with you. control arms are a factory crush point. Your unmangled unibody will thank you.

Alot of people dont agree with me but who cares. If you are going spend the money to get beefy ones make sure you buy adjustible so you will never have to worry about them again (till you break them or rip the mounts off the unibody)

i see you have rought country suspension. look into their LCAs. That would be your cheapest and best bet.
