    Ill let you guys know if mine fail. Had them for about 10 months and a hard 10 months lol. There fine. they were only made to correct the alignment and at full droop so your not hitting your coil overs. For the cost there great. if they last me another year they will pay for them self no problem.

    I ordered a set and they came really fast. They are installed on my truck now. No issues.

    need to learn more about this stuff
    i am finishing the 887 and 3 leaf aal with 5100s all around install on tuesday. was able to do the whole back end 2 days ago (the shop class i do them in is every tuesday and didn't have enough time to do front and back)

    i didn't buy UCAs with the lift. marie at Headstrong said i can always update later if needed (i was a stress case about wanting to spend more money since i just had my 4th kid and wife wasn't too keen on it as is. but i hated the truck stock). so my question, since i don't know much about this stuff, is why is it the stock UCAs need to be replaced? they just arent long enough? or beefy enough?

    I don't know a lot about this stuff either but when I did my 5100 lift I bought new mud terrain tires at the same time. After about a year of having my lift on with stock control arms I could see the outsides of my tires being worn faster than the rest of the tire.

    Make sure those caps are on there nice and tight. I lost both of mine when I was playing race truck in the desert! Freedom offroad will send you new ones for 15 20 bucks I think, I cant remember the total.

    shouldn't have to but I did just because i like using the lucas grease. Install them first then grease them. If you grease them and then install you might have a mess on your hands!

    Asking because I just did new coil overs with 887s and 5100s and did the back too. But the OEM coilovers seem fine on there.
