    Right now i have a 2.5 inch strut spacer and am about to remove that and put adjustable billies on. I want to have those set at 2.5 and then in a couple of months i want to order some spindles to give me 3 more inches and then have about 5.5 up front. Would i need to get new uca? and if so would these be fine to get?

    You're welcome. Another thing is I'm not sure if a spacer is a good idea along with spindles. I could be wrong though

    generally the consensus around here is you need new uca's with more than 3 inches of lift. hope that helps
