EDIT: You want adjustable CA's, the top ones at least.

I decided to go with the RE 3.5 super ride. I have a 2 inch BB on right now with shackles and spacers. If I stack the BB to the 3.5 RE I will need adjustable upper control arms wont i? Can I get away with stock uppers until i can buy UCA if I add the BB spacers?

I know right I have a girl right now and I love her to death but god damn women halt your mod process. If I was single I'd have a long arm setup ready to go instead I'm peacing together a poor man's lift lol. But oh well that's life I'm just trying to build this thing before I end up having kids and then the xj's really gonna hate me.
