2" Lift - upper control arms

Do I need these? Had a leveling kit and tires and wheels within bounds. I used a Toytec lift kit with 4runner and trying to get something to run like that but a noob here...

 

You’ll get lots of opinions. I did a 2” lift and noticed handling became a little twitchy at speeds over 60-65 mph, especially in any kind of cross wind.

I installed JBA upper control arms, which allowed me in increase my caster. Handles much better in those situations previously mentioned. Your “mileage” may vary.

 

I have Eibach 2.0 at a little over 2 inches and factory UCA and no problems.

 

@IrishRed

Whats your wheel size and offset, tire size?
I have JBA UCAs too and was wondering what's the minimum wheel spacers needed to clear the UCA. I have .75" boras and 0offset wheels (4.75" bs).


Another thing with certain UCA arms, you might need a wheel spacer if the offset/backspace isnt right to clear the UCA.

 

no

 

I think this video explains it really well

2 inches up front on 285s. Drives fine, no issues and alignment is perfect.

 

My wheels are SCS Ray 10’s. They’re 16” x 8” with 4” back spacing and -12mm offset. Tires are 265-75-16’s KO2’s.

 

2” OME lift, running stock UCAs. No issues whatsoever and I’m not easy on my truck.

I would save the money and get something more useful.

 

I'll echo that you do not need them in your scenario.
