Default Help ! With Upper control arm choice

Looking for a little help choosing an Upper control arm . I've got a 2020 4x4 f 150 supercrew, Has anyone here put a level kit in , kept the stock 20 inch wheels , put on either 275/60/20 or 285/65/20s and changed to a new aftermarket UCA . I'm trying to avoid titre rub on UCA made for 2 - 4 inch lift . Any help would be greatly appreciate. As of now I'm looking at Rough country forged aluminium, or Freedom off road 2-4 . I'm 62 done a lot of auto mechanics in my day , I've put in lifts before but this 20 inch wheel newer f 150 is new to me and there are like 35 companies making UCA's as of now was thinking on doing this with a freedom off road UCA and a 275/60/20 Cooper tire that is 33.4 tall believe it's 10.5 wide . Any help please ? Thanks

I used a 2 inch leveling kit on mine. Its an aluminum block, I forget the brand name. I upgraded my tires from the factory 275/55/20 to Cooper All-Terrains 275/60/20. No rubbing on the upper control arm as the tire is the same width just a bit taller on the stock STX 20 inch wheels. Didn't change anything else.

I’m running Icon Delta Joint UCAs. They’re not cheap, for sure, but it’s a quality part with a good warranty and great ball joint design.

I’m running 295/65/20s on the factory wheels without issues. I did have to lower my Bilstein 6112s to the 1” setting and use a 2” spacer for the tires to clear the crash bars without any removal or spreading, but the tires cleared the UCAs without issue. I think 285s clear without issue on a 2” or 2.5” level.
