Upgraded Aftermarket upper control arms

[C_low]

I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 rst 4x4 I put a three inch level in and got rough country 3 - 3.5 inches of lift upper control arms I am wondering do I have to pull the whole strut back out in order to replace or can I get away with taking the top bolts off of the strut and pulling down and out of the way to get to the bolts for the uca if anyone has any advice or experience on the easiest way to install these would be greatly appreciated I really don't want to pull the whole strut back out if I don’t have to. Thank you.

Just to clarify, you put a 3.5 rough country kit on and now you want to upgrade your control arms?

No I put a three inch level in and am doing their 3 to 3.5 uca’s

Update just got the uca’s in I had to take the whole strut out there was no easier way to do it that I found unfortunately but they are in and the angles are perfect on the ball joints
