    at 1.75in setting on my truck with raising the ass end 2in as well (to keep rake) my caster was at the very low end of spec (1.4*).... but still in spec.

    I recently got SPC light racing UCA's.... and now have 3.4* caster -.4* camber and .1* toe on both sides and it drives SOOO much better. ALSO i dont have the UCA hitting the coil any more at full droop like i did with the stock UCA. (which will happen with any coil height setting)

    Are you implying that those issues are unique to the 5100's?

    I have the Revtek 3" coil spacer. So if I order these, I can remove the spacer and still get the same amount of lift?

    Your results may vary. Expect it to go up or down a little bit.

    I'm getting ready to order front and rear from Jet but it bugs me a little that there's no picture or real info for the fronts. Just a checkered flag with the part numbers. Rears show all the description.

    I never got the tracking number emailed to me but I was able to log on my jet.com account and was able to see the tracking there. Although they incorrectly marked FEDEX when clearly it was a UPS tracking :facepalm:
