Help, Not very knowledgeable on U&LCA Kits.

My 2011 is a daily driver/Mall Crawler. I'm on an estimated budget up to $1000.
I have searched TW and Companies and I found I'm not that knowledgeable on this.

I have Headstrong 2.5in lift. Running stock Control arms currently.

Can someone tell me what the best Setup or a Kit to replace Uppers & Lowers. Poly bushings would be great if it fits in my budget,. I am aware I need upper bolt & lower adjusters as well.

Any help would be great. Thank you

 

You want LCA because why?

If it were me I'd get the JBA UCAs then get some Whiteline LCA bushings and new balljoints or the MOOG LCA and swap the Whiteline bushings into them. That's probably your best bang for the buck as far as your budget goes. If you have never done bushings before then I would suggest take the LCAs to a shop and have them handle it they are a PITA

 

Just get an adjustable UCA and replace the bushing in the LCA.

There is no need to replace the bolt for the UCA...it's not a 1 time use fastener.

 

I was hoping I could just buy a complete set of better than stock It would make things simple.
I'm really not looking forward to swapping all these out but I can do it. I can afford to purchase or rent the bushing tool and a Ball joint tool. The info you provided is great haven't heard of Whiteline so that helps me out a lot. That was the type of detail I was missing vs spending 3k.
Probably going to go the way you suggested. Yes, This will be the first time on this truck.

 

I second jba ucas.

 

Thanks everyone. The JBA is a good idea. I'm one the right track now.

If I don't forget. I will post pics of the job.

 

Yesterday I replaced the control arms. My lowers both fell right out. No cutting needed. I am SUPER lucky. The upper bolt was actually fairly easy to remove and I didn't have to bend the inner body all that much.
For uppers I used JBA, Lowers I use Mevotech from RockAuto. Took me about 4 1/2 hours. Today getting an alignment.

What I have read about this job seemed this could have been a bit of a nightmare. I felt it was pretty easy. The worst part is probably working on concrete in the garage with no lift. It gets a bit more difficult as you get older. ha! I didn't take pictures totally forgot to do that.

Thank you very much for the help on this.

 

Way to go !!
