    I've decided to upgrade my 2021 ORP stock suspension with Dobinsons IMS + 2" lift. What benefits would I get with upper control arms at that lift level? I've read they're recommended for a 2.5"+ lift but not 2". Can someone explain if they bring benefits at a 2" lift level over OEM UCAs? Thanks!

    Added caster for achieving proper alignment.

    Do not go over 2", your rig is IFS.

    No you don't need them, but you'll benefit from having them. Better alignment and more travel.
