Hello,
Finally decided to make an account to ask this question. I have a 2011 ST 4Wd that i will be putting on a 4 inch SuperLift. Cant find too much of an answer but should i also consider getting new upper control arms and maybe even lower control arms to make sure wheels are all straight and wont cause problems down the road And if im missing anything else feel free to tell me, want it done right the first time.
Thanks in advance.

Clayton Off-road for rear control arms and Panhard bar.

The Superlift end link extensions are absolute dog **** youll see what I mean once you get them... lol... So get yourself some Maxx sway bar end links.

Might as well do Bilstein 6112 front / 5125 Rear while you're in there... ;)

Being a 2011 I would plan to install new wheel hubs, depending on your mileage the lower control arms. As @DILLIGAF said suspensionmaxx swaybar endlinks.
Do you already have the superlift kit?

attached is the link to the lift i already purchased with bilstean front and back shocks

have about 110k miles on it so far, been checked every oil change at dealer. i have been looking at MEVOTECH upper control arms, pretty sure ill get one. just want to make sure i have everything rather than finding out on the lift.
the lift was a too good of a price for me to pass up.

New wheel hubs for the new spindles
Mevotech upper and lower control arms
Suspension Maxx swaybar endlinks
This would be a good list to start with

I do not mean to jack this thread, but aren't the Mevotech UCAs stock size, therefor not suited for a lifted application over 2"?

The 4" Superlift is an actual lift and uses factory UCA. My UCA are perfectly level with that lift and Bills 6112s set at 0.8.

You are right in the aspect that Mevotech is covered for the 2 inch application (Called them). Also called super lift and due to the replacement knuckles that come with it this allows for stock control arms.

I've got the 4" Superlift on my 2016 from new and have had no issues whatsoever that needed any additional parts to resolve.

The only thing I did was get the Bilstein 5100's on the front to remove the remaining rake I had.
