Longer Upper Control Arms

[zpaperboyz]

Hi Guys,
I'm running the 2.5 RB spacers and need to get longer upper control arms. What has everyone been doing on their lifted ex's?

Dealing with the awkward angles and stress that it puts on the ball joints.

I went with 2.25 front and 1.75 rear to lessen the angle and stress on the ball joints, so before putting in the lift I replaced the fronts with Moog joints (see my sticky and the top). Haven't had any issues since.

BTF Fabrications who makes spacers for the 3rd gen's (thread is here in the forums) used to produce a set of upper arms that used a uniball joint system and extended the arms out to alleviate the angles. There were only 2 sets ever produced that I am aware of, one is up for sale from "macknos94" here on the forums, you may want to reach out to him and talk about them

Thanks for the heads up. I sent him a pm and I sent one to Brandon as well.

Brandon told me he didn't keep the old jigs that he used to make those 2 original sets. He did say if there was enough interest he might think about making more though.
