Bilstein 5100 vs 6112

I was able to grab some 6112's, 5165 reservoir rear, and Bilstein 1" lift coils. The rears went in slick as snot, and the ride is way better. It turns out there were 2.5" spacers over the factory coils, and the shocks were totally shot. No wonder the ride was so harsh.Unfortunately the fronts did not go in nearly as smoothly. The bolts won't come out of the lower control arms. My thought was to replace the upper control arms, but now I'm thinking I had better replace the bottoms as well. I see plenty of talk about UCA's for lifted applications, but what do I look for when shopping for LCA's?

Full disclosure- I’m not doing the work. My guy got the nut off the shock bolt, but can’t get the bolt out, and is concerned about damaging the bushing. My thought is to simply order OEM Mopar LCAs and aftermarket UCAs. At least then we’ll know what we’re dealing with.
