I’m installing a Zone Offroad 4” lift kit with Fox Coilovers and rear shocks. I want to go ahead and replace the control arms at the same time. What are y’alls recommendations on brand/part number/greaseable/upgraded heavy duty (such as Zone D2301)?? Thanks!!

I have the zone upper control arms. The only issue I can complain about is the ball joints are press in. I have had a ripped boot and it’s a pain to change the ball joint. If I had to do it again I think I’d go JBA because they are bolt in ball joints. But they are more money as well.

I've got the Zones, i can't report on longevity because it's my first time using them, and i just got them installed a couple of weeks ago.

I wouldn’t put the Zone or any other brand arms that correct for angles on a standard 4” lift, it can put the UCA angle upwards in a bad position. If you add Bils to the lift then ok but not with struts at stock height.

Here’s a pic of what I’m talking about.

Do you know if that truck has the Fox 2.0's set at stock height? They go up to 2" lift. I'm just wondering if they upped the height on the Fox's if that'd solve that UCA angle.

I'm considering UCAs at some point too. Thanks for posting this. To add to your questions, I'm wondering if boxed or tubular are preferable? Boxed seems to be stronger, but there are a lot of tubular options out there as well. Price range for both is comparable.

If you already have the RC 6” call and see if their uca”s will work?
