I have a high mileage (217k) '07 4WD that I decided to put a small lift on. I went with the Pro Comp 3" with their UCAs, but now I'm thinking about other upgrades.
I have no illusions of doing any rock climbing, and likely won't do any really serious trail stuff, but every suspension component is original so I'm looking at replacing them from a preventative maintenance standpoint. My sticking point right now is the Lower Control Arms. I really don't see any aftermarket ones that aren't crazy expensive so I'm leaning towards just going with stock replacements. In the rear I'm looking at the RESZ replacements (all 5) instead of stock because I understand that they put my pinion angle back where it needs to be after the lift. I know that the stock ones are considered flimsy for those who push their vehicles harder than I will, but the stock ones have thus far served this truck well (albeit without the lift) so they are probably tough enough for what I'm doing.
Are there less expensive rear control arms that will achieve the same pinion angle correction? Are there any "stock" front LCAs that are better than others (or brands I should avoid)?
Thanks in advance.
