    I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on 5100's. I'm wondering if I can get away w/ stock UCA's w/ Eibach's and 5100 @ .85? According to my math it'll be 2.45" of lift. Eventually I plan on installing a toytec .5 spacer on drivers side and .25 on passenger. Thanks for the help TW.:D

    From what I have found, its about 50/50 who have replaced their UCAs. Most said it would be better just to do it, or plan on doing it later when they have the $$. I'm sure it cant hurt one bit to get a proper caster/Alignment if running larger wheels/tires.
    Wish the dang things weren't almost $500. Just as much as the Shocks/Coils, lol.

    If you have alignment issues at .85, you can always set the 5100's back to 0 and run it that way til you can save up for new UCA's. Like Sawick said, it's 50/50 whether you're going to have issues at .85, you could be one of the lucky ones.

    I have eibach's and 5100's at 0.85. My alignment was okay, but not ideal for my tastes. I ended up buying some Light Racing UCA's from Fat Bobs garage, and I installed them yesterday. I had 4 alignments right after my lift was installed, and after the 4th try 1.9/ 2.08 caster, and 0.6 camber was the best I could get. It drove fine, just felt light in the wheel, and I got tired of it. I'm going to get the LR units set at 2.5 caster, 0 camber, 0 toe when I go for my alignment later this week.
