Recommendations for a stock like maintenance free, 2-3" lift corrected upper control arm?

Does it matter? Zone off-road, readylift both in the $500 range.

Tons of options make it confusing, grease able, etc.
 
Carli and Thuren boxed UCA are far more superior than the ones you listed because they made them for high speed desert runs which will destroy parts that are not made well. (If it's good for high speed desert runs, it's more than capable to handle whatever else you throw at it).

there's no such thing as maintenance free, but with Carli and Thuren it's easy - just grease the bushings and apply PTF lube (like Tri-flow: Amazon.com: Tri-Flow Superior Lubricant 2 OZ bottle with four inch straw two bottles : Automotive) occasionally and you're good.
 
Hopefully I don't regret the decision but yesterday I ordered the Zone off-road UCA's. I liked the stock like bushings used, and the replacement ball joint listed is a moog.

Thought about going Carli UCA's but they're significantly more expensive, and this truck won't be doing crazy fast desert stuff. I really just wanted a better angle over stock.

Carli commuter also on it's way. Torn between 285/75r18 or 295/70r18 on the method double black 18x9 -12
