I put this here to get a variety of opinions for the 200. Thinking of the 2 inch OME LIFT with UCA from slee.

With these stock size tires.

thats Andrew's neighbor...
Are upper control arms required for the 2" lift?
I know Andrew put A LOT of thought into his decision. You may want to look at Iron Man. Not what he did with the monster lift but maybe just a 2" system.

Not sure if UCA are required but they come with the kit....so thought I would do it on the front end.

UCAs shouldn't be necessary with a 2" lift (or that is at least my understanding).
Again, anyone that might be considering the OME lift, I ask that you dig through the Forums and see the kind of reception it is having on the 200 series; it is not very favorable.
I went with the Ironman, because it had a number of good reviews, and most importantly, had a warranty too. The Foam Cell Pros are also adjustable, and rebuildable too. But oh man, Slee sure doesn't like Ironman, and said they were junk. Of course, LT and MetalTech had the complete opposite to say about them; telling me they were well-made, huge, and appeared to be getting a lot of praise in the OZ communities (at that time, there were no lifts on any 200s in the US. I had 1 of 2 of the only kits in the US)
@wct49 can hook you up with the Ironmans if you take that route.
I did heavily consider the Radflos; they have gotten wonderful reviews in the 200 section. Their CS is also top notch. I was even personally contacted by the owner of the company, Glenn (heavy Australian accent) and we talked extensively about the Radflo system.
ICON is also very nice, but I got a bad taste in my mouth after calling them; the salesman couldn't really tell me anything about their systems and how they compared to their competitors. Now I know you will say "Well, they we're probably trying to just not talk trash" Nope, this guy seriously didn't even know the product he was selling (who knows, maybe he was new?).

And BTW, to get the lift I have, I had to crank my FCPs big time, in addition to running OE spacers I purchased through the part's god, @beno
I am also running the C rated constant load springs, which of course will give additional lift. I would think that just running the basic FCPs would only give a mild lift ~ 1" - 2"

That's what I want. I want my wife to think she's going crazy. Just enuf lift that she's not quite sure. She can't pull out a tape measure either, she doesn't know how to use one.

Hot Damn
The tape measure part is probably a good thing...
I put off the ring job on my RZR because the little bit of smoke wasn't that bad.
It threw a rod.
Just doubled the cost.
