The other benefit to me doing that was Wheeler's assembled them. I have dealt with spring compressors before. It's not fun. I gladly paid them to do it for me.

You can get by without UCAs if you use 884s. Probably not if you go with anything that'll go higher than those.

 

Lol. Sounds like a normal winter to me.

Spring around here is usually in the 30's or low 40's, until we hit a warm snap somewhere in April. Then it's like somebody flipped a switch and we go from 30's to 50's overnight.

 

I'll probably run the stock coils for the time being. I wanna see how bad the squat is towing the boat with the truck leveled.

 

My 5100s are ok. One leaked for a while but now seems to have stopped. They rode like junk when I had eibach coils on. They are better with OME 881s, but I'm not that impressed. They are fine for what they are, and I couldn't beat the price I got them at.

 

I have 5100s at 2.5 with sport coils . Rides good . I've had eibach coils at one point and I hated it . I also had offroad coils at one point . Wasn't to bad . Sport coils are the best IMO .

 

I obviously have no experience with 2nd gens, just 1st gens

 

Because Alex..

 

That's a good question, it's like half the price of then new plus whatever paid for the arms. So at that point might as well have just got new. Wonder if it's cause he has to get the old uni balls pressed out and new ones in by a shop

 

Need new uniballs, new misalignment spacers, and bolts. Might be less, I have to call Camburg and see if I can get just those 3 items. The full rebuild kit is $320 plus shipping.

Fuck you.

I'd rather pay $370 than $699

Arms currently have no uniballs in them.

 

Why not just buy LR ucas for that? That's about the everyday shipped price for them from headstrong

 

^^^

Already been addressed

 

No I will not fuck you stop begging..

But seriously what did you pay for them?

 

I think Alex has had more different lifts than I can count.: . Iv been rocking my OME scince 2009 and I still like it.

 

LR sucks. I had them on my 4R and hated them.

Uniball>LR

Nawwww...

5100's with stock springs, front leveled

5100's with FJ springs, front leveled

5100's with FJ springs, 2.5 front and daystar spacers in rear

5100's with Eibach springs .85" and 1/2" top plate spacers, FJ rear springs w/ daystar spacers

5100's in front with Eibach set at .85", 1/2" top plate spacer, LR UCAs. Icon rear springs with fox 2.0 piggy back rear shocks

Current:

Front: 5100's .85" with Eibach and 1/2" top plate spacers. All pro 1" uniball uppers.

Rear: icon 3.5" progressive LT springs with fox 2.0 piggy back shocks.

 

What did you not like about the LR ucas?

 

Ball joints would either slide out of place when wheeling, or the nut would round off when you go to adjust them. Ball joints wear out really quickly too.

My alignment was ok but wasn't great with them.

Just got off the phone with All Pro. The replacement stuff will be cheaper uniballs allow for a little more travel too

 

Sounds like that weren't torqued enough. There shouldn't be much lateral load on them.

 

So are you getting new LCA's and CVs too to allow for this extra travel?

 

Alignment shop didn't torque them properly.

New CV boots, and stock LCAs. More droop and such

 

If you like uni-balls better, that's perfectly fine but the reasons you listed for not wanting them aren't exactly what I'd call accurate. Just sayin...
