It says Currie front upper control arms, is that supposed to be the lower control arms? Just wondering since that would make more sense.

Please do tell why would that make more sense?

Nice setup! It has all of the basics to do a 3" lift in the best possible way with same great components.

Psst, Littlejon... UPPER control arms will do better to rotate the front axle to correct caster... well, as long as there is enough travel in them to do so. Lower CA's are designed to move the axle front/back to center in the wheel well. Of course, they work in conjunction with one another to achieve both.

I thought that most people got the lower control arms to fix the "flighty" steering feeling on the lifts that come with cam bolts. Aren't upper control arms more to set the pinion angle for aftermarket drive shafts?

Also most of the lifts that only come with partial arms, and not all of them seem to come with lowers. Just thinking along those lines, but it doesn't mean I am right.

Both Uppers and Lowers can fix the "flighty" steering and this is becuase they have the ability to adjust the castor angles.

The front uppers do this very well and are the most cost effective way to do this.

Now the Front lowers will also work very well and give you a stronger lower but they are more expensive than the front uppers.

I think this kit sounds great! I like that you are taking the best and most cost effective parts form different brands to make one kit. The one question I have is will this kit be tall enough that I will need new driveshafts?


On a side note dave my arb bumper you sent should be arriving here within 45 minutes.

You should not need new shafts with this kit, BUt if you plan on doing some extreme wheeling it is a good idea to have new shafts.

Nah this is my daily driver so I cannot risk anything too extreme. But after I pay this off in 4 years or so that should change!! Thanks
