You need to find out if the upper control arms make any changes or not.

If the ball joint pad is not moved at all and you run standard height ball joints you are gaining nothing other than possible a weaker upper a-arm.

For example upper a-arm moves the ball joint pad rearward for increase caster, is slightly shorter and can be purchased with tall ball joints for improved camber gain.

So I recommend seeing if the a-arms make in changes. If not they won't do any good. I hope that helps,
Ryan
