Upper Control Arms with 6 Inch Lift

[Abrams117]

Hey everyone, I plan on doing a Zone 6 inch lift and 37x12.50 tires to my Rebel in the next couple of months and am curious if I should bother spending the money to upgrade to the Zone heavy duty upper control arms or stick with the stock ones. The wheels I plan on getting are only gonna have +01 mm offset and I don't plan on abusing it off-road, but I still want to be able to do mild off-roading safely.

My vote is yes. You will be better off with the upgraded UCA’s.

Yes, with 6 inch lift.

I recommend new UCA's as well. Mine is a BDS 6" but here's a photo for reference. I'm sure the Icons will be very similar.

Alright, I guess it's settled then. I'll be doing the upper controls arms. Thanks everyone.

Don't forget to post pictures when you're done so we can all geek out!

Should be around May hopefully, the local after market truck shop near me is supposedly having some decent sales that Month. But I'll definitely be taking a lot of pictures! Really looking forward to how 18's with 37's will look on my Rebel.

Why did you end up choosing the Zone lift if you don’t mind me asking? I haven’t pulled the trigger on a lift yet but plan on it and Zone is on the radar. I also have a white Rebel so I like your truck lol

I had a Zone 6 inch on my 4th gen and was super happy with it. It's a great middle ground between overkill BDS and "cheap" Rough Country in my opinion. For mostly road use and some fun off road every now and then, it's perfect.

I'll be really interested to see the 37's on 18's as well.

I definitely would like to see 37” tires paired with 18” wheels on these puppies.

Nice and I agree. I’m between BDS and Zone, but was hoping for a 4” lift which Zone hasn’t released yet... May just step to the 6” zone since it’s great value/quality. Deff post pics and review after it’s done please!

Unless you're dead set on a 4 inch lift, I'd always do a 6 inch. I know I would always wonder what the truck would look like with a 6 inch if I originally went with a 4 inch. The price is pretty much the same plus you can always just run meaty 35's on a 6 inch instead of going all out with 37's. Hopefully around May it'll get it done and I'll give an update, as long as this whole virus situation doesn't get worse by then.

Thanks for the advice. I was leaning towards the 4 inch to fit in the garage, however I’m not against the 6 inch cause I can get more stance with wider wheels/tires which I like. Either way I plan on running 35s. Looking forward to seeing how your rig comes out. Gunna look great I’m sure.
