    Not yet. I'm sitting at 2.9 degrees positive caster with 885's and a 1/2" plate spacer on stock UCA's. I have what measures to be 2-3/4" of lift. Aligned just fine. (with adjustment cams roughly in center of adjustment range) MAY not need aftermarket UCA's, but will put them on if that's what it takes. I've done a few lifts for other people. (8 so far) Mine is the 3rd one that aligned just fine without new UCA's. Most don't.....Not saying I WON'T need 'em. Just taking it one step at a time.

    Since you have the top plate spacers and aligned fine, then you'll probably be fine. I thought you had just the 885s and didn't know any better. Glad to hear that's not the case!

    I'll put the 887's in, with a 1/4" spacer on passenger side and a 1/2" spacer on drivers side. If it works out like I think it will, I should end up with a 3-1/4" lift (from original stock ride height) That may push it over the edge and require new UCA's. If it does, time to fork out a few more peso's. If not, just call it lucky and go with it!

    Ooof, that's quite a bit of lift. I'd be worried about your CV angles at that point. I hope it all works out for you!

    Good luck with 'em @ 2-3/4" for almost 100,000 miles. We'll see.....

    Got my previously shown Method Double Standards in machined finish installed yesterday. I like them 100 times better then the standards. Another huge thank you to discount tire direct for the awesome customer service.

    I really REALLY like the wheels! Too much "murdered out" look for my taste these days. A little bling looks good!

    I highly recommend it. Discount tire direct is the best place I have found on price.

    That is exactly how I feel. To many black trucks with black rims and black everything. The machined finish pops against the black. The plan is for the wheels and front emblem to be the only things that color. Everything else black so those items will "pop"
