Advice on my UCA'S

I mean my stock UCAs didn't look like that at all...my SPCs have the nut on top (not a castle nut though) so I don't think it's upside down necessarily, I'm just wondering what brand UCA it is because I've never seen it before.

Then again it's been a long time since I've had stock uppers so maybe I just totally forgot what they look like. But I really don't think they had the castle nut on top.

 

It's gotta be some kind of aftermarket uca I think. Anyway...what was the OPs question lol?

 

I have no first gen knowledge knowledge, tootlooo

 

I think there stock uca, but moog ball joint. Maybe? I haven’t been around 1st gens that much.

 

You might be right yeah. The shape of the arms looked funny to me but might just be the photos

 

So did you ever get your truck aligned after the lift was done?

 

Ubj's are moog

 

Yea it was done by dealer after they replace lbj's under recall .

but did recommended after market uca's

 

I got the kit from wheelers they recommended the spacer to achieve lift an taco lean . I did the install an dealer did the alignment on lbj's recall replace

 

I was looking at this cant spend lots of cash right now . Is a bender from here having black friday sale
what u fellas think

@YamaDirtrider
Should i keep the spacers or just get the taco lean one ?

 

Yeah those are the right ones. The taco lean spacer is fine but I wouldn't run lift spacers if you can help it. I would sooner adjust the 5100s for lift or better yet, get the right coils for the lift you want (881s, 882s, 883s, etc)

 

I'm running 881's on 5100's now on 2 nd notch not stiff but firm .
I ask on the spacer cuz if you see my pictures a have them on now should i take then off or just add UCA's my front end is higher right now .

thanks for the reply

 

If it were me, I'd ditch the spacers get different springs that'll give you the lift height you want. 883s will give about 3", 882s about 2.5". Adjusting the settings on the 5100s is what stiffens the ride along with using spacers

In the mean time though you're fine to just put the UCAs on until you change the lift. With that much lift on stock UCAs I can imagine your alignment numbers aren't ideal

 

Taco03Trd,
Are you running aftermarket leafs?

 

Yes sir i have icon progressive aal 3pack install.
