Yes, I would still recommend the upper arms with the coilover lift. It's still lifting the vehicle in the same manner as the strut Spacers, so the upper balljoint angle will still be bad no matter how you lift the truck.
I do not recommend stacking multiple lift parts to achieve more lift, once you get above 3" or so the cv joints are going to be past thief operating angles and you will destroy them, and the upper arm angles will be even worse.
Front winch bumper (HD or Prerunner), rock sliders, rear bumper with 2" hitch, recovery mount, possible tire swing (whole bumper, or center bumper like on xterra, 4runner etc.)
A real suspension lift kit. Maybe similar to duners... Except follow through with it haha. ~6in. Coilovers in the front and a rear diff drop/frame hoops would be a.huge improvment over anything currently available. Thats where id spend my money.
And possibly down the road a kit/bracketry for a rear sas.
+1 for sliders, bolt-on skid plate, and steel front/back bumpers. I wouldn't mind being a guinea pig if you are close to TN! Also, a "BTF Fabrication" sticker for the Mountaineer would be sweet!
How about control arms that are not extended. I like the design of the extended ones, but I don't plan on putting spacers on. I am thinking of putting Quick Lifts on being that I need struts soon....Maybe I should run the extended ones anyways... who knows at this point.
