Question upper control arms

Anyone know how much fabtech upper a-arms for the 3" lift are and how hard they are to install. I have a 97 f150 4x2 extended cab with the 5.4l in it. Also are there any other companies that make a product similar.

The reason for asking is I had a lift put on my truck by this shop that had idiots working there. They put a 3" spring in factory arms and this has destroyed my ball joints.

Thanks for any help,
Ryan

Check this place out , I think you can get them without the springs.

Hey thanks, AIM has upper control arms and ball joints for $299. Thats a lot better than the 400+ for the Fabtech I have found.

be careful of opinions from people who don't own the product their are talking about. I've been running AIM control arms and spindles for over a year without any problems !

Talking

look into California Super Trucks upper control arms the i went to the warehouse where they make all the control arms and was impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the arms. each control arm is hand built. plus they warranty them for life I broke the upper arm only after i hit a 4ft tall brick wall at 65mph, but they gave me a new one for free.
