I got even worse news from them, they said i would need a new upper control arm to make this leveling kit fit. But I know I've seen guys on here with the same kit and I'm doubting you guys got new upper sontrol arms. So I guess im asking first did you need an upper control arm ? and if not how did you get the srping back in? cus the guy said it would be extremely hard and he didn't really even understand how most ppl could do it.

Did the leveling kit include a note/disclaimer that you would need upper control arms as well?? Seems to me, that if it doesn't say that in the ad, then, it shouldn't need them.
