Need recommendation on control arms
Hi all. I'm looking for some aftermarket upper and lower control arms to replace the factory units. I have a 2" lift, so they could be stock-length fixed arms, but just in case I ever want to go higher, I'd ideally like adjustables that can go as short as stock.
The real catch is that I'd like them to use factory size/style bushings that can be sourced at any auto parts store, Amazon, Rock Auto. I'm not a fan of many of the lift companies' proprietary bushings. I hear enough reports of failure on them, they are much harder to get, and are often far more expensive.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

I believe that IRO uses a stock style bushing. But, honestly. Even a poly bushing used in quite a few other brands, can be had from your local parts store as well.
Iron man 4x4 fab has bushings that can be had off the shelf.

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like IRO is going to be my best bet price wise. I just can fathom paying well over $400 for control arms.
