You can use stock upper/lower arms.

All brands of k-member will work with stock lower arms

(the upper arm does not connect to the k-member)

UMI have a double tube k-member which I like.

Your stock uppper and lower a-arms will fit wih our BMR k-member, now if you were debating on doing the a-arms now or at a later date I would try to do everything at once because there is some overlapping labor and you would need to get another alignment if you did the k-member and a-arms at seperate times. If there is anything I can help you with let me know.

Just installed my UMI k- member, perfect fit and a great looking peice. Weighed exactly 23.8 pounds lighter the stock and freed up a bunch of room.

you get a better price on buying a complete front end kit.go to each vendors website to see what kits they offer.the ws6 store is a good place to compare some brands.
