    I finally got in my new Bilstein 5100's front and rear and Total Chaos UCA's. This set up looks and runs great! Before I was running 2.5" spacers and the ride was terrrible!!

    I highly reccommend this upgrade to anyone who is running the spacers, It only costed $280 for front and rear billies and the ride is so much smoother. Plus the spacers really put some wear and tear on my stock UCA's good thing I upgraded to the TC UCA's.

    I couldn't have done it without Chris4x4 he is rediculously talented at he does and will work for food. lol. He likes Papa Johns Pizza and Pepsi FYI.

    Chris4x4 hard at work

    Spacers stress the Factory Ball Joint, and if useing top plate spacers, Like 06Bluez was, they will destroy your ball joints, and lead to other failures.

    Good point. Wheels spacers are hard on the wheel bearings, but they shouldnt hurt the spindles.

    I had wheel spacers on my 07 and It ruined my wheel bearings because of the offset putting allot of stress on the bearings. Listen for clicking thats when you know they are going!

    I decided on my spacers only after Silverback mentioned that he ran them and wheeled the hell out of his truck with no problems...

    Everytime we have gone thru Texas, we have had problems. One time, it was a weather delay. The next time, weather delayed us, then our plane ran out of fuel. Personally, I like Texas, and have some good friends there. but my Wife considers it a "black hole". :)

    While I don't share her sentiment, I can understand it. I hate Iowa because we got pulled over by a bored, curious trooper for nothing when I moved to Minnesota...

    Hand her a Shiner and all should be well..... :)
