    My 2 cents...
    If your Upper Control Arms are in good condition (boots aren't ripped, bushings are good) then leave the old ones on. UCAs are expensive. They say you don't need different UCAs unless you go over 2"-3" of lift.
    You should get new U Bolts as they are meant to stretch (and cheap). You might need some longer ones (not sure how much thread you have left).

    You can keep your UCA. As for the U Bolts if I remember correctly I had to use longer u bolts.

    Not today but over the weekend I finished installing my new suspension. Went with Eibach Pro Lift Kit on first perch 2.5in front and Wulf AAL 2.0inch in the back. Rides and looks awesome.

    I’ve got the 4” spindles and Bilsteins on the 3rd notch. It rides fine for me. The 2 combined has given me 6” lift.

    Thats what I was thinking, yea was going to pick up these 7.5" ones for $50 - , but are you saying that I do NOT have to use these UCA's that came with the TRDOF package? I assumed I had to use them to match the springs, but would certainly be easier if I could just keep mine.

    I went back to the shop I bought my LEER shell from to see if it came in today. Of course not! It’s been 6 weeks since I ordered it. I was told the turn around for them was 4-5 weeks. Well now if it comes in next week it will be 7 weeks. Totally annoyed!

    Here's a little tip if anybody else wants to replace the belt molding. You see where the four indents are in the metal (three are shown), you only have to pry on the belt molding in that location. I pried on mine from inside the door so I wont mess up the paint.

    Not my truck.

    Built the frame for my ultralight sleeping platform. Gonna cut the lumber to size and carpet it tomorrow. Add a couple lounge chair pads and im set. Hoping to hinge the wood panels for storage access underneath.
