    Looking for upper and lower control arms and have heard the OE is the way to go. What’s everyone’s opinion not really wanting something that’s not gonna last. I’m considering JBA UCAs also

    I would do SPC or other tubular upper control arms if you're ever planning 9n running something's wider than a 265.

    For lowers I would just rebuild them, OEM ball joints from ebay and Energy Suspension poly bushings.

    What are you doing? You only need aftermarket $pecials if you are trying to lift and go 33 tires+. Else go OEM.

    I have been lifted for almost 2 years and needing to do some maintenance figured I would upgrade at that point.
