    Looking at the headstrong 5100 Bilstein kit with the deaver single add a leaf and 2888 coils do you guys think I would need upgrade UCA or the stock ones will be able to handle this lift? and do you this would be enough clearance for the trails?

    Excellent. Exactly what I've got... the guys over at precision tune auto do that as a default now it seems. Thanks @Texoma

    Anyone who is thinking about new tires.
    Ebay has a 15% off coupon code for today.

    I just ordered 5 new tires and the Discount Tire Direct price matched a lower discounted price.

    Headlights
    Taillights
    Shocks
    UCAS
    Tires
    The options are endless.
    Only stipulation is that it is a maximum of $100 discount. I just placed 2 orders for my tires.

    Ordered on ebay through Discount Tire Direct. Then called and they beat Tirebuyer's price and discounted the road hazard certs.

    Discount Tire Direct is the online branch of Discount Tire, for those who weren't aware they were associated.

    Just looked up the ebay front bumper and they jacked up the price to offset the discount.
    Them JACKASSES!

    Clearance for trails? Depends on trails you wish to tackle.

    Like this?

    Or this?

    As for UCA. Replace them regardless of how much lift you'll get/want. Chances are you will need them later on anyways.

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    The 888 coils are just as stiff as 885 coils. 888 are just taller. You will most likely need aftermarket UCA's. Also, why not get the OME kit rather than the Bilstein kit? OME is a better shock than the Bilstein, and it pairs better with OME coils as well. If your looking to save money, think of the OME shocks as investing in tour truck long term. You can also upgrade from there and invest in a rebuildable shock such as King. Another question is, what size tire are you going to want to have with your lift? Also, are you replacing the rims with aftermarket?
