    I had my alignment done with @Mobtown Offroad skid plates. And I had LCA skid plates on as well. No issues. But it's a 3rd Gen. Don't know if that matters.

    It doesn't. Chassis and suspension had minimal changes between the two generations. And that wasn't changed.

    No worries, worth the ask! Thanks. Now when going for alignment, what numbers should I be telling them to get me at? Lift is 6112 at 4th notch (2.1" roughly) and 285/75/16 tires. Alignment specs aren't my forte.

    UCA's and coils arrived. Awaiting struts and shocks and then it'll be time for an install.

    I'm going to get the elastomer bushings with the standard arms. When I spoke with the gentleman at JBA today and told him I have Whiteline LCA bushing going in the same time, he said those bushings were also elastomer.

    Good to know. I will double it... I'm sure I'll be thinking of your post when I have to bend it more than I originally thought even with the knowledge from your post.

    To avoid damage to the inner fender when performing said bends use an old cloth/rag between the wrench and the metal.

    Drivers side is much easier (not so much bending) and I used vice grips to pry mine away worked pretty good. Two people for sure at least for Pass. side. My bolt ends were pretty rusted up and made the last inch or two deadly getting the nut off but it eventually went with one person holding the wrench and the other on the breaker bar.

    If anyone is interested I am selling my brand new JBA UCAs. Never installed, bought about 3 weeks ago. ($435 + shipping)-TN

    Turns out my wife's pregnant, surprise! :thumbsup: So I'm not going to have time to install these unfortunately, and I'm not sure what our car situation is going to be in the near future.

    Solid product by Marlin, very impressed with the quality. PM me for details if interested.

    ***SOLD***
