2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Control Arm Bushings or New Control Arms

[npieske]

My truck is leveled with a 2" leveling kit. Just replaced tie rod ends (Lukes Links) and got an adjustable track bar, new Bilsteins (Silvers), and Sway Bar Links. I ordered the Energy Suspension bushing kit from Geno's. Now I am in a quandary: Do I replace the bushings knowing the axle will still not be exactly centered in wheel well, or do I replace suspension control arm with the longer units as offered by Geno's and TopGunCustoms?



I want to do this right, but will getting the longer suspension control arms be worth it?



Any suggestions?

For the price, I can't hardly justify the Top Gunz arms unless you bash on it hard. Now, if you have the cash in hand, and just want to spend the money, or you really drive it off-road a lot, it's a valuable upgrade. They're way stronger than the factory. I'd like to get them to make some custom ones for me..... For the axle not being centered, I don't think a 2" leveling kit is going to make much difference. There is more than enough adjustment in the lower arm to compensate, unless it's already maxed out. Now, the factory arms leave a lot to be desired, IMO. I think they are a cheap, mass-produced, POS product.
