So these control arms are longer than stock? And allows for proper alinement? I have a 3" coil spacer and need to bring the top of the tire out to allow for alignment.

These are bigger than stock and according to their site these offer more travel. I can only tell you they worked for my setup way better than the stock arms did.

I know this is an old thread but I am having the same problem you were. I have the Zone 6" lift that uses the drop down bracket, longer steering knuckle(spindle), and longer struts. I added the AS 1.5" level spacers and now my control arms and ball joint look just like yours in the 1st pics. I wonder if these would fix my problem. My truck is a 2010 2WD.

I can say nothing but good about these control arms. They have been on my truck for well over 2 years now and I have beat the crap out of them and they have still held together. In my opinion they are worth the cash to run a level on top of a 6 inch lift. Your set up sounds similar to mine so it should help you out.

hey i was wondering if you know if i can add more lift to the front of my truck?I have an 05 with a 6inch lift with the 6inch spacer up front with an aal in the rear. Also i have the total choas upper control arms on the truck now. my question is can i go with the bilstein leveling struts to get another 1.5 or 2 inchs of lift or can i stack a leveling spacer on the big 6 inch spacer i already have? I love how the btall the back of my truck is and dont really want to lower the rear to get rid of the rake

I was looking at aftermarket upper control arms before, specifically ReadyLift. But I have stock FX4 suspension. Is it a waste of money to go with these when my upper control arms wear out? I have no plans on doing a lift. At the most a level kit.

It's not a good idea to stack spacers but the bilsteins will work to raise it up. I don't know the right ones but you should find tons of info on it if you search it on here.

They are a lot of money if you go with total chaos it camburg. I know If you go through the dealer for upper control arms the prices are not that far apart. If you need upper control arms it's not a bad investment. It actually made my ride smoother.

Stacking isn't a good idea. A new strut is a much better idea. Does Bilstein even offer a 5100 adjustable shock for a 6 inch lifted truck, with an 0-2 inch adjustable spring perch?

Another route is Bilstein can cut the spring perch on their struts to any height you desire. At least that's what their tech support said a year+ ago. You may lose the lifetime warranty.

Im pretty sure that the 0-2 adjustable shock that bilstein has for the 04-08 ford f150 will work with a 6inch spacer. I do believe that they also have a 5100 shock that is designed to get rid of the big spacer. Im not sure what would be better to go with, without have balljoint and cv problems.
