    UCAs were far easier then Expected. Cutting the old bolts for easy removal and putting the new ones in from the other side made is go quicker and no bending the inner fender well. The coilovers on the other hand. 1 of the bushings tore and the bolt wouldnt come out, and the other side 1 of the 3 upper shock mounts studs was spinning in the spacer. After cutting them up a little they came out.
    Over all it took about 7 hours including clean up. UCAs alone would take 2 to 3 hours. With new bolts and nuts. Also i sprayed them down with pb plaster for a week before the install. That helped too im sure.

    Nice setup Kyle. :thumbsup: Looks good!
    I just ordered the JBA ball joints for my UCA's. My moog ones are all rusty after only 4-5 months, and the boot doesn't seal so all the grease comes out. plus water, dirt and crap can get in there. hoping there new designed ones are of better quality

    I just ordered a set of the STD High Caster. Will these be too much for my current 5100 at 1.75 lift? Should I wait for install until I upgrade my front setup?
