    6” Rough Country 20x12 Hostiles 35” Arturo trail blades Dv8 off-road front and rear bumpers
    So I’ve recently bought the rough country 6” lifted struts. I had the 6” blocks in the front. I’ve stacked a 2” leveling kit on top of it and the cv angles look fine. But the stock upper control arms are not doing so hot. Any suggestions on aftermarket control arms that will push the ballpoint farther away from the coil spring?

    Almost all will. I like my SPC UCAs because you can adjust caster and camber with them as well.

    To be fair, the 6" lift is a custom knuckle that retains good control arm angles. Most 6" drop bracket lifts have perfect CV angles.

    The 2" on top is the issue.

    The only real answer is a solid axle swap. Custom coils and arms.

    Not fat chicks huh OP?

    In all honesty shouldn't the control arms be fine since the 6 inch drop bracket doesn't affect the UCA position? The additional 2 inches should be fine since our stock control arms can usually handle 2 inches.

    OP look at SPC upper control arms or Total Chaos
