Ok so i put this six inch lift on my 05 lly. Everything went good and i ordered their upper control arms with it. Well apparently they are for torsion lifted trucks only cause im running the cv's flat and torsions lowered and i can clearly see the opper ball joint angle is bad, and the camber is way out on the top like this \\--// so im gonna return these ones and either buy moog stock replacements or does anyone know if say cognitto or kyrptonite can be ran on stock set torsion bars? I heard about flipping them upside down or some thing crazy. Any input guys. Im driving my self nuts trying to figure out which route to go with this. And trying to get a shop to align it with -44 wheels is like pulling teeth too

I have had cognito upper s with the ball joint mounted on the bottom of the arm. Put a 4" tuff country in, and ended up moving the upper ball joint to the top side of the a arm, made a big difference on the ball joint angle as well as the camber. With the joint on the bottom, the camber was to far out and the bj angle wasn't the best

Hmmm this is a six inch zone lift im dealing with lowered to id say like a 4 inch lift. Three inch blocks in the back and its leveled with cvs and tierods perfectly straight out. I want to be certain on what upper control arm to get before i shell out this money

I'd get a stock one too. The longer spindle is making up the difference, therefore there is no need for the aftermarket uca. If you cranked on the torsion bars now it would be different.
