You can also get upper control arms from Jeepin Al here on the site. His come with the Moogs, which can be serviced. So you'd grease the moogs instead of replacing the whole arm.

Here is a link to Al's site.

Great man to deal with. I have bought several things off JeepinbyAl with no complaints. Al even helped me install my lift.
