By the way, I have the same TF lift on my 2-door. Expect to get at least 3.5" out of it. If the steering feels a little "flighty" after the lift is installed, consider replacing your stock front lower control arms with a set of adjustable arms. That'll improve the caster, which should help with the steering.
Also, if you have an automatic and you plan to wheel with the swaybar disconnected, start thinking about a new front driveshaft. With any lift over 3", the boot on the front driveshaft has a tendency to get ripped off on the corner of the transmission pan. Once the shaft starts spewing grease, its days are numbered.
I know you only asked about the stock control arms, but I figured I share this info in case you didn't know what you were getting into.
