yea thats basically what im talking about how it comes with upper control arms.i just think the factory springs will ride better so i was just gonna make custom 3" cups that just bolt in up front.im just curious though lets say i get the kit spindles and the 3" springs for 6.5"....if i add a 3" cup to that for 9.5" would i have to drop down the lower control arms.and what about like the steering.
