Default Upper control arms recommendations

I have a 6in RC lift on my 04 f150 . The stock control arms are angled terrible now. Rides like s*** and squeaks alot over every little bump in the road. Control arms are literally touching the strut spacer. Been looking for days now and can't find anything. Any recommendations before my ball joints blow out?

Rough country sells them.
I think one of the lift manufacturers has them too. You want the 'extended length' arm -very common part.

Can't think of the truck store that sells them too (big name online shop). Oh, Stage 3 is one of the names from the search.... that's the one I was thinking of.

The kit I am looking at from Rough Country included new spindles. Does the kit you installed have spindles. Normally with spindles, the UCA can be stock and be perfect. Some kits are a 4" kit plus coil spacers (making it effectively a 2" level) and can benefit from the extended length UCA.

They aren't difficult to find...

Rough country does not sell uca for my year truck. Those 2 links you post are for the wrong year and found nothing by the name 'extended length'. Stage 3 has same options I've seen on Google but nothing specfies the product being rated for 6 inches. Everything I found is rated for 1-3 inches or 2-4 inches. Yes I have spindles. I was thinking of getting the 2-4 inch uca because how it looks I just need something bigger to increase the wheel travel again.

I know this is a month old thread so I dont know if you need this advice anymore, however, I just installed the Rancho upper control arms on my 2008 F150 and they are great. They say they dont fit but I have a thread on here thats on the second page I think and it proves it can be done. Best of luck.
