Control arms w/2" lift???????
Are new upper/lower control arms needed when either a 2" coil or spacer lift is installed. Would useing the factory ones hurt anything or not. Thanks

You'll be fine with the stockers. Upgrade them as damage requires . I'm running 3" of lift and only have replaced the front LCA's and again, that was due to a certain encouter with some rocks .

the cool thing about your stock control arms is they will twist when your suspension cycles, so you can get decent flex with them..after all they are thin stamped steel. don't forget to look into rubicon express...some good stuff there. you might end up with a long arm kit before you leave their website!
