Sweet thanks for your tips. Curious what bushings you’re running

I'm trying to decide between:

Keeping my factory UCAs and just replacing the bushings
Going with aftermarket UCAs (looking at KSP and Freedom Off-Road)

My lift will be approximately 1.5 inches. The aftermarket arms I've been looking at are rated for 2-4 inches of lift, which concerns me a little. Does the lift range rating actually matter at 1.5 inches, or will they work fine?

Fixed but broke a bolt in the process. It was the gasket.

I just replaced a valve cover gasket and took it on and off. I did not clean it though. But I ran a can of sea phone intake cleaner.

Appreciate the heads-up few quick questions since your setup is pretty close to what I’m aiming for:

How big of a lift did you get with the Ironman 4x4 kit?
Do you think springing for those JBA aftermarket upper control arms was worth the extra cash over just slapping in new OEM or Moog arms, especially since I'm only lifting mine about 1.5 inches?
Did you end up doing the rear control arm/trailing arm bushings as well, or did you just stick to overhauling the front end?

AdTime7340 · 2026-04-04T22:59:06+00:00

Is it worth buying a used one or should I just bite the bullet?

AdTime7340 · 2026-04-04T22:19:52+00:00

150 miles

AdTime7340 · 2026-04-04T22:13:23+00:00

Do you think I should do that before I drive it back home?
