Keep Stock Uppers or Replace?
IM at about 4.5" of lift and I still have stock uppers, it wheels fine, and drives fine. Is there any reason to upgrade to aftermarket uppers?

have adj upper ca will def give you a smoother ride when driving both on and off road, how often to you wheel? that would ultimatley be the deciding factor for me considering how expensive they are new and how hard they are to find used for a good price.

You don't need uppers untill you have about 6+ in. of lift.You may want them,but don't need then.
You can always plate the bottom of the arms for strength but be careful,I believe they are galvinized & the fumes are bad for you.
