drop brackets or long arms would be preferred but you can get away just fine with an aftermarket adjustable upper control arm. anything but the stock one pretty much.

With an aftermarket adj upper arm it will still ride rougher than most people like at 6 inches of lift height... I would recommend the drop brackets if you dont have the coin for long arms.

you cannot use stock length upper arms for that sized lift.

Your suspension would go to full droop under breaking and cause control issues (wheels up don't you know)

Did you take your drag link off? Did you re center your steering box?
