If you go with the 2 inch level u should have to the control arm. Cause if I'm right ur spindle doesn't move the UCA at all. So you should be fine.

2.5" spacer will need longer uca's. 2" spacers dont need anything exept an alignment. Its alot of extra money an trouble for .5" more lift...

Agreed. Just keep ur spindles and throw the 2 inch coil spacer. That together is 5 or 5.5 of lift

I could be wrong but I have a 3" coil spacer (yes I know big mistake) and I have stock upper control arms and I know that for sure because I put them on, the only thing the mechanic that did my alignment said I needed was new camber bolts which I got immediately. So I'm pretty sure you can use the stock control arm?
