After a Lift Kit

If u can afford the heavy duty sure but it may be overkill. I say go for HD cause spending the extra $$ is worth it

 

Are you getting new wheels. 33s won’t work on factory wheel with the jba ucas. 33s really shouldn’t be run on factory wheel either. If getting new wheels what size, width, offset are you planning. If wanting to run a true 33 hope you don’t mind some trimming either.

 

Ive run spc upper arms on my 2013 for about 15000 miles with no problems. They have worked well for me.

 

That’s why your rear is so high the HD is for holding more weight not for Offroad reasons. With that setup it expects 600+ in the back. It also won’t ride as well without weight. I would remove the leaf unless you plan to have a shell or things like skids, sliders etc.

 

OME makes a top plate spacer for that kit that gives you the full 3" in the front. Driver side should have the trim packer in the coil pack also for the taco lean. Been running SPC LR UCA's on my OME kit for the last 8 years (169k miles).

 

Ya, I'll probably just keep it like that just to give me an excuse to buy something for the back like a bumper.

 

Is a spacer kit really a good idea for off-road?

 

It’s a 1/2” spacer. It’s not that crap that they sell for $100 as a lift kit.


I’ve got 169k miles on my lift with it and haven’t had the first issue. Put the Full OME kit on the truck at 6500 miles. Not any different that the ones using a 1/4” spacer on the drivers side to get rid of the taco lean.

 

And they can handle the off road? I don't go to hard on the trials but I am still young.

 

I don’t drive like a granny and mine has been fine. We would usually run around 50 or so pounding it. No issues. Just don’t jump your shit. Nothing holds up to that.

 

Your front end will go higher when they flip those spring mounts right side up. Based on the way they’re shaped.

 

where is a good place to get top plate spacers?

 

I agree with this. Get the springs mounted correctly first and then see how it sits.

 

Finally got it sitting right. Doesn't really look like I need a leveling spacer.

 

hell yea!

 

Get the standard JBA high castor uca 's the heavy duty is for hard core wheeling, JBA is dollar for dollar the best bang for your buck.

 

Got those vibrations now hahaha. Went with the JBA so got two projects this weekend.
