Default Front suspension issues/ concerns

So I remember seeing on a build thread on here about shorten knuckles and aftermarket upper control arms... I've been trying to find out what company makes them for the 1gs anyone know?

I'm on 18" rims right now and I'm 2" from tucking the rim and I read up on a thread that if I was going to be that low I would need shorten knuckles... If I change my upper control arms would it clear the shock tower if I'm this low? Btw thank you for your help

2 things you can do well more than 2 you can add a rca to lower it dropping your knuckle, cut a hole in your strut tower for the fuca to pop out and increase your rim size eg 19-20s
