I have 2012 1500 express with a 4in rc lift kit. I want to replace the upper control arms. What kind of upper control arms are out there. I don't need the best but I don't want the cheapest one either.

When i install front bilsteins i am going to add zone upper control arms. They are designed for lifted trucks, and are greasable and ball joints are replacable.

The mevotech UCA would be your least expensive factory replacement.
The Zone control arms are probably your next choice. They are heavy duty and correct for the angle/length needed. After that I think rough country makes some that cost a little more and then if you want look at ICON and few others that are $800 and up for the pair.
I went with the Zone arms on mine, I also liked the fact that they use a Moog BJ that can be sourced locally if ever need be.

The Mevotech ones are still factory geometry? they are just a better design ball joint right?
I found some Rough Country Ones for $300 that seem to have better ball joint anfd geometry

I don’t care for the uniball style myself on a daily driver, they are pricey too

The rough country ones are not for a 4in lift

I went with Total Chaos uniball UCA's. They make some noise but are awesome.

The only issue I had with my JBA’s was the color. Had them powder coated black. Much better! Gained 2” of wheel travel when they turned black too.

Those are really nice. I just installed Zones; but those JBA UCAs are only $40 more. Wish I would have seen them first.

Can those zone or JBA's be used with Bilsteins set to 2.8 or do you really need a 4 to 6 inch lift for them?
