Default Do you need a long arm lift kit when adding a 6.5 inch lift

I was just wondering if the stock arm is long enough to handle 6.5 inches of lift or if I need an aftermarket arm as well?

No. You definitely need adjustable arms of some design or type at 6.5".

Yeah. You're gonna need a lot more than control arms. Google it and do some research man there's tons of info out there.
