I have a quick question for everyone here. I am currently at 3.5" lift and have stock control arms. I am about to put on 2" shackles and spacers so I have been collecting the things I need to put it on. I bought Skyjacker Lower Control Arms but for some reason it didn't cross my mind to buy uppers until my friend said that I absolutely need them if I plan on lifting two more inches.

Is this the case or can I still get by with stock uppers, at least for now?

i ran 6.5 lift with stock upper but the lowers were from a 4.5 kit it set the front end back in the fender well a little bit but it will work

more important is to relocate the track bar either with a adj one or the bracket that does it

Sweet. They are Skyjacker 16" long. I also purchased RE drop brackets.

edit: According to the chart I have been referring to, the correct length LCA for my lift + the RE Drop brackets is 15.92" which is almost perfect for the LCA's I have.


I need to jump on that stat as well.

i'm up 5 with stock uppers and lowers i cut some things to gain droop but she drives fine i'd say you'll be fine

I'm at 4" with stock uppers and lowers, but I don't like how much angle my lowers have on em... So I got IronmanAndy building me some adjustable uppers and lowers....can't wait for them to come in!!!

Edit: Plus my 33x12.50's rub on the rear edges of my fenders....I don't like cutting up rubber that much.

Ahh you guys are making me feel so much better! I thought I was for sure gonna have to buy something else before I could put these shackles and spacers on.

I also have a pair of these skyjacker LCA's for sale that I will be posting in the for sale section soon. What is a fair price? Brand new in the box.
