Im not to sure but I think so, everyone on here says you need them and I am not an expert so I took their advice. Where are you getting the lift from? The reason I ask is I had a buddy said he could get it for me for that price but that didn't include shipping or kicker braces.

I don't think they do because everywhere I called today said they come with the upper control arm. The moogs are suposed to be top of the line and o'rilley and advance auto parts sell them for $117. There are cheeper ones that are not greaseable for around $55 those are both priced per each and both have a lifetime warrenty.

Classic City Off Road, is the name of the buisness. Found it on Pirate 4x4, that price includes shipping, but not kicker braces.

I have a friend with a press I think would work, i looked on Autozone and O'Rielys seems like they only sell the whole assembly for like 130 a piece. Seems kind of steep, maybe not?

Guessing both uppers and lowers would be needed, looks like about 310 for a set of uppers and lowers for all around.

Yeah seriously. lol. It's so hard for me to decide. I truly think I would be happy either way, with a lift just means im gonna have to spend more money on stuff I would rather not spend money on.

I'm thinking about just leaving it leveled and doing some other things to it.
