    Hello,any recommendations on upper control arms for leveling Bilstein 5100. Purchased Rough Country OE replacement upper control arms but concerned with no description of up to 2.5” lift. Anyone have experience with these control arms, not the 3.5”. Thanks

    I went with the Freedom Offroad arms, can't beat them for the price. I have used JBA arms in the past (3 different vehicles) and those are awesome but not really necessary with my Sequoia.

    If you are leveling....so lifting the front 2 inches, the stock UCA are fine. The TRD pros are 2 inches higher in front and use stock UCA just fine.

    Lifts approaching 2.5 inches benefit from new UCA, better alignment and handling. So if you are only lifting 2 inches, save the coin for some other mod or repair.
