    BDS 4.5" lift Air Lift 5000
    Had had a couple shops tell me I need new upper control arms and tie rod ends. I have a 4.5" BDS lift. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should go with? OEM, Autozone special, BDS, Billstein? I am trying not to totally break the bank since I will have labor costs too. Should I just go ahead and replace some other front suspension parts as well? I will likely take the parts in to do the labor as I dont have the proper tools, skills, or confidance I can do this myself... Thanks!
