    if the truck is on the ground in that picture, you have too much lift, way beyond 3" and no uca will fix that...

    That's what I was thinking. Full droop sitting on the ground is no bueno. Almost like he needs a spacer for the spindle.

    The UCA shouldn't be down that much. Just a guess, but I think the problem is with your lift kit.

    ^^

    thats your problem, so much preload/lift, you locked your front at full droop

    if you are 4x4 with that much lift i can see things going wrong down the road


    uca arms are suppose to only get close to contact with coils at the droop like this

    should be some spacing or free fron contact when on ground, even at 3" lift

    Doesn’t make sense it’s a 3 inch lift 1.5” block then 1.5” extended shock in the front

    3" at the suspension will give you about 6" at the wheel. That's too much.

    Do you have a pic showing the gap between your wheel and fender?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    This. Rough Country only makes a spacer lift. We need to see the top hat picture.

    If that's a spacer lift to get the 3", then I don't think you can use the extended shock, it should probably use the stock shock. If it's a coil lift then the extended shocks are needed. The UCA's are not the problem.

    They aren’t the problem. You should keep them.
