    If you are refering to the mounts, the answer would be no. The upper arms and mounts carry the vast majority of the load.

    Sorry perhaps a miscommunication, lca "lower control arms", uca "upper control arms". That being said, if you plan to use the kit for its intended purpose, i.e. going fast over nasty shit, then gussets on the uppers is a no-brainer. Do it!

    its the lower control arm sleeves that broke, if you take it to engage with the arms already off, they will reinforce it for you for free.

    To my knowledge, there is more stress on the joints and mounts on the uppers, generally just because of the motions from the suspension cycling, but the is more weight carried by the lowers. If that makes sense.

    Let me know if you're looking for someone to fab and install those gussets. He's reasonable and does shit clean.
