Should I get Freedom UCAs or Stock

    Bilstein 5100s, AFE dry intake, Icon AAL pack, Bed stiffeners, and ideally some UCAs soon
    So I’m lifting my DCLB from 1.5 (3rd gen 4600s) to 2.12 or 2in (6112s set at 5/4?) and wondering how bad I’ll need UCAs to stay in alignment. I’ve heard you don’t need it below 2.5” of lift but other people say you do. I cannot afford to spend more on this truck, but I could maybe budget for some Freedom Off-road UCAs. They get reviews as if they work but you won’t really notice a huge improvement other than staying in alignment compared to total chaos or SPC.
    Should I be able to stay in alignment with stock UCAs? There’s not a clear answering I’m getting on the forums

    TIA

    Ok see I read that somewhere and thought about it but wasn’t sure, they perform the same as SPCs?

    I believe they are SPCs, just being sold under the mevotech name. should even say ''SPC'' on the arms when they show up
