    You could and get 7" of lift for sure.

    Then just swap your stocks out for the 5100s and leave them on the bottom clip.

    I'm on different wheels and tires now but that's roughly what you would be at If you're aiming for 7..

    I'd say if you can get a good alignment how it is now then go for it at the end of the day it's your truck. But if your barely getting decent numbers I wouldn't advise it. Being higher up comes with more drag and for your truck to drive correctly at speed you'll need a better alignment.

    I have the spindles with 5100s set on the 3rd notch. It gives me right about 6”. The alignment is great and the ride is still good. It’s a little bumpy, but not too bad.

    What UCA do y'all recommend to run with the spindle lift and factory coilovers? I'm running a 34" tire with the camber maxed out to keep from the CMC but the ride is noticeably more bumpy on road. I'm going to B110 with factory springs soon and want to do the UCA swap at the same time.

    I'm running JBA, they work as advertised. Plus you get a great warranty, and a reminder email when it's time to grease them up!

    I'd recommend buying new UCA bolts and nuts. Then you can just cut the ones already installed. Makes for a much easier install. I would also recommend installing those bolts with the bolt head facing aft. Pretty much install them backwards.

    I know a couple of people who run them around here. Was it hard to figure out how to set them up for the right amount of caster. The others on the market seem more like you bolt on and forget it.

    Thanks for posting that picture. I’m currently running 2.5 fox coilovers with zero preload or very minimal.

    What spring is on them? If it's too stiff then it'll have the same effect as too much preload.

    I have 13” 600 lbs on there right now. They are tuned from accutune and I’ve contacted them about my harshish type of ride already and they said it’s because I have no uptravel. I also measured the length from top hat Bushings and it came out to 20.5” which is half an inch below their recommended height.

    Superbumps will compress to about half their size, but have you looked into running 14" coils. Not sure if that's the right solution, but that's what I have on my Bilsteins

    The ONLY things that impact uptravel (that I know of) are:
    1- too stiff/long of a spring (giggety)
    2- bushing bind doesn't let the UCA/LCA droop
