Anyone running the speedtech front upper control arms on their stock height wagon?

The description on Summit doesn't say if they are a stock position on stock ride height or lowered, which can be a big deal, I think. I put Proforged tall top ball joints in new Moog arms which allowed my stock height Roadmaster wagon to be negative progression with compression for caster which improved cornering and steering feel noticeably.

I am using SpeedTech on my wagon. I also installed their lower arms and a coil over setup. I've not had a chance to drive it much but it feels great! It is lowered about 1.5" as I recall. I've also installed Global West upper/lower arms in the rear and a Speedtech coil over set up back there as well. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer.

Been trying to decide on what to run on the front, I thought possibly tubular uppers only. But my wagon is stock height and I don't want to lower it.

Tubular lowers should not necessarily make it lower. Springs or drop spindles would lower it.

I was meaning tubular uppers to gain some adjustability but keep stock lowers. I was only mentioning that I didn't want to lower it in general

Was looking at these too

I like those arms, wish I knew about them earlier before I modified mine to do the same thing.

Built in 5* positive caster, check.

Built in more progressive negative camber progression, check.

Standard ride height, I think so.

Fills in all the boxes for getting much better street handling.

I do wish they had rubber bushings on the lower arms though to be quieter, but the uppers are rubber so that is nice.
