    Just picked up some LR UCA's that need to be rebuilt, for 50$

    How tall can you lift and get alignment specs with these?

    I have a around 2.5inches of lift with LR UCAs with no issues. The problem is finding someone who knows how to balance a lifted truck. I pulled my hair out going to those corporate mega alignment shops, they were worthless.

    I have 3" of lift, and 4* of castor with LR UCA's so I can run my 35's.

    3" of lift is the max without going with a drop bracket lift. Otherwise, your CV's will die an early death. Even at 3" you'll want high angle inner CV boots or do the "boot slide" mod. You'll also want to do the ECGS bushing install because your needle bearings will fail.

    If you don't know about the ECGS bushing or boot slide mod, a simple search should give you multiple threads to read.

    You have to go on knowing what you need because factory specs won't get it done. 0 camber, 0 Tow, and castor depending on tire size. With my 35x12.5's, I need all of the 4* that I have.
