Suspension Build Help
Hello all, I just bought a 2020 F150 XLT 3.5 Ecoboost and I got some Bilstein 6112 coilovers set at 2" of lift with 5100s for the rear. My question is about control arms--I asked the place I got my shocks (shocksurplus.com) and they said that the factory control arms will work, but perhaps they will get worn quicker with the lift. So I'm thinking about just getting some decent control arms and doing this right.
My question is if I decide to go aftermarket control arms, which ones will work with these shocks and 35" Raptor takeoffs? I have seen on forums that some aftermarket control arms will rub on these bigger BFG tires. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have a 2.75"-3" level on mine, with Raptor take offs, and see no need for aftermarket control arms. Some say that about wearing faster, I don't know about that, I've never replaced any front end parts yet across 3 F150's, all with 2.5"+ levels, and larger tires. May be I don't know what I'm doing?
