Default lowers as uppers

Hi all. I'm in the process of redoing my front end. I let somebody else install my lift and they completely screwed it up. I have a 4.5 inch Rough Country with short arms.

Anyway, my question is: can I use the lower control arms from the lift kit as uppers? I'm probably going to by adjustable lowers so if I can do this I will.

Thanks guys

Totally different design. The lowers have larger bushings on both ends, the uppers have one smaller bushing on one end and a wraparound on the other for the bushing on the front diff.

Okay thanks. Just a thought that went through my head as we were cleaning up today. Didn't get a chance to look at the uppers.

Thanks again
