Default tubular upper control arms

ok,
i am hoping to use my good ol income tax refund to get me a 5" trailmaster lift.
i dont want to cut up the stock upper arms to fit this kit.

i found two sites that sell racing gear - tubular control arms.
way cheaper then just getting the 2" lift and selling what i dont use.

here

http://www.ubmachine.com/upperboltin.html

and here

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Chrome...-Arm,4853.html

yes these are for 2wd. trying to get a rough idea of what to look for.

sooo, anyone have any words of wisdom regarding what i should look for as far as sizes??

any help is appreciated....thanks.

yes i know these are for 2wd...i found that on 2wd s10 they are 8"
i am contacting the ubmachine as far as custom sizes/costs.
never know..

Summit sells the superlift uppers but they are $$$. They're tough to find, but I snaged a set of used ones on ebay. Like you said you can buy the rough country kit and sell everything you don't use. When I was looking for a set I called rc to see if they would sell me just the arms out of their 2 inch kit and they basically told me to screw.

Alot of the nissan Pathfinder guys call rc an tell them they had the kit and where in a crash that damaged the control arms and rc would sell then then arms separate.

I don't know what they would charge. You could also try local offroad shops and see if they can get you arms
