Which is the correct hole to use, upper or lower to attach front coilovers to the upper control arm on a Gen 2?
Most photos I’ve seen posted use the upper. Someone at FF5 suggested the lower.

Which is the correct hole to use, upper or lower to attach front coilovers to the upper control arm on a Gen 2?

I used the uppers. I've been told the lower are for the truck
Here's what I ended up with for my Gen 2. I will be running full fenders. For the rear 3-link, I'm still finishing up. Needed a new rod end.
- I used the lower hole in the lower control arm mount and have the bolt pointing up to get a little more range of motion for the lower arm.
- I used the upper holes in the upper control arm as I think that works better in mounting the Radiator.
- I used the lower holes in the upper control are for the upper shock mount to get a bit more preload and ride height for the full fenders.
I figure all of this will work out just fine once I get it all together.

- Used the upper hole for the lower control arm for consistency. However, needed to relocate the grease fitting to clear the steering rack.
- The spring adjuster is 2.9 inches up the black collar. This puts a bit of preload into the system and with a preliminary fitting ride height looks about 5 at the frame and about 6 at the radiator. Exact dimensions once the Rear is adjusted.
