Tubular control arms aren't going to give you any additional clearance.

Re: control arms needed?
If you get plenty of lift I would check into cutting down the bottom cup a bit. Just make sure it wont rub if you cut it down. Im assuming you have spindles already and an upper plate, lower cup setup.

Take out the lower cup and weld a flat plate in the control arm. That might get you another inch.

If the truck is an 86 you dont need a lower cup just bolt it to the LCA. They are big enough. Just make sure to debur it and clean it all up.
