Hi all!
New to the forum, and I must say what a huge amount of information available! I am based in the Middle East and just ordered my 2020 FJC!

So, first thing i want to do is lift it 3” and fit 33” tires. The car will be used as a daily drive with weekly visits to the sandbox in my backyard 😉
I hope someone can advise me on the bellow.
Upper control arms replacement, should i go for billet or tubular type?
Any brands you recommend which allow upper ball joint adjustment?
In case of the 3” lift, i have read people advising to drop differential and put spacers under bearing carrier, is that mandatory to reduce load on drive shafts to wheels and rear diff?

thank you for your feedback!!

Michel

Well to make you feel better there’s a downside...as soon as I start modding my 2020 I will lose the warranty. So don’t feel bad

Radflo or King 2.5 . Coilovers with 2.5 rear shocks .
SPC Or JBA . or icon with Deltajoint . UCA
No you do not need a Diff drop
No there is not a carrier Bearing in the rear to lower .

For Sand . i would be looking at a CO+ Bipass shock set up myself

When I bought my 2007 new I modded right away and I didn't lose the warranty. Maybe you won`t either

The dealer here is pretty fussy but I’m going to check with them what I can do without voiding the warranty
