I guess that telling you about my friend that cut, lengthened and then boxed the stock control arms with a 2nd set of stock control arms caught your ear. Jeff measured his out and did both his upper and lower control arms that way and loves it.

May be in ignorant question but are upper control arms a known issue?  I have had my stock upper arms on for over 4 years now and never had a problem.  Now that I said that I will tear one in half or something.
