I am running the STOCK control arms for now and have been for almost TWO years with no problems and I run some of the HARDEST trails in MOAB on a monthly basis!
So please dont believe all the crap people will tell you on here, some of it is good advice and YES they are recomended but if you are not a hard wheeler you will be more then fine and remember some people think you cant even wheel without 38's, lockers, winch, dana 60's. it is only a lack of knowledge, skill and experience that tells them this, in short there are a lot of different people on here and the truth is usually in the middle.

You absolutely will either need a new front drive shaft, or be ready to replace with cheap OEM takeoffs.

I trashed my front boot the very first time I took it off road.

I am going to go ahead and get the fron LCA's and see how that goes and worry about the drive shaft later. I don't do enough hard wheeling to warrant that mod yet.
