So the 4.5" IFS lift I run came with new rear upper control arms. BUT, they are the same exact size as stock 2nd gen upper control arms. With this size of a lift, those control arms are too short in the sense that they leave the rear diff at more downward angle that puts unnecessary/unwanted pressure on the rear driveshaft and wears out your Ujoints, Pinion, Driveshaft, Differential, ect over time. (just dealt with) What I want optimally is to use a more heavy duty/longer, possibly adjustable rear upper control arm so that the axle/diff rotates back a little more and puts a steeper angle on the Differential in connection to the Driveshaft. I just want to prevent a possible diff blow out and unnecessary stress on equipment over time. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything in regards to upgrading rear upper control arms? Who makes them? Custom Fab? Suggestions/Advice? ALSO any suggestions on the best bushings out there?! Brand? Polyurethane? I've looked into the upgraded rear control arms all over this forum and google and have come up dry for 2nd gens. Any help would be much appreciated.
