What do you think would be my best bet for control arms for 8 inches total lift if im on a budget. I see rustys makes custom control arms, and I think I can use the adjustable UCA's for 6.5 inch lifts, and get some good lowers, but Im not quite sure. What companys should I look into or avoid, and keep in mind im on a budget.

at 8 inches of lift you REALLY SHOULD use either drop brackets mid arm or long arms. If you dont it will ride like crap and you wont flex for crap.

Thats understandable. Ballpark, how much would any of those set ups cost?

i use rubicons drop brackets and control arms with 8 inch skyjacker springs and 2" spacers, it rides and flexes great, although even after the steering conversion my drag link is still at an awkard angle, that is next on the truck to do list. Anyway, if on a budget do fixed arms but if you go bigger than go adj., i hate being on a budget
