Pictures of stock UCAs after lift

Does anyone have pictures of their stock UCA angles after a 2.5-3” lift. I have 5100s set at the highest setting and my UCAs look relatively flat. Is that good or bad? I’ve seen people with angles that are sloped downward pretty badly and I’m guessing that’s what you don’t want. I’ll get my own pictures up later.

 

Go to an alignment shop and get some actual numbers. I guess if it's severe, you can kind of eyeball it, but the numbers don't lie.

Also, there's a ton of variables with pictures online. What their alignment specs are, whether or not they are on jackstands, flexed out, etc.

 

I'd be concern with the angle of the upper balljoint

 

What are the UCAs supposed to look like? Sloped up, down, or flat?

 

Dunno, haven't lifted my truck yet. YET. I'll wait for the experienced guys here to respond

 

For the least amount of wear, probably flat. Because then the ball joint angle is not severe. But it depends on your alignment.

 

What do yours look like now?

 

Mine are pretty flat now. I didn’t get specific specs when I got it aligned but it seemed like there wasn’t a problem with it.

 

You might see if you can go back and get a printout. Most shops will just call it 'ok' if they can get the toe and camber in to where you even tire wear and it tracks straight. But your caster affects your responsiveness and you may get some 'twitchy' steering on the highway, or bad upper ball joint wear if the angle on it is bad. Look at your control arm and see if you can visualize the angle it's at, like this: You want it flatter, so it has room to move around as your wheel goes up and down.
