    Idk if I'm following this right. So i removed the bolt for the UCA, then i flip the nut around and put it back on and hit the crap out of the bolt?
    I tried to hit it with a BFH for like 15 mins today and all i ended up doing was bending some of the threads. i just want those things out of there

    do you guys think a deaver 10 leaf pack that adds a 1"-1.5" lift would be to much?

    no no no no... put the nut back on the bolt so you are hitting the nut not the bold. thread the nut about half way of all its threads then hit it.. so you wont destroy the bolt. another thing you could try is just smackin the shit outta the UCA. like the underneath part rather than the bolt. i knew i wasnt going to reuse them so i did that and it worked too. its up to you. you gotta smack it for a while before it gets loose.

    depends on what your planning to do. if your just going for looks save yourself the money and put blocks in it or an add a leaf. If your going to plan on barging it then no

    well not like $$ wise, just if i get the 1.5" in back id have to do like 2.5" is in front to keep it somewhat level,

    what im tryin to ask is do you think my 265/25 would look to small? i want the performance of the 10 leaf, i plan on using it

    blake, dont crank the COs when you get them. Wheelers or icon sets them at ~2.5 lift from the factory. so id just leave it. im thinking of lowering mine once i strap the front end. its to high and my uniball spacer/spindle his the inside of the actual UCA. Also i want more down travel

    ok
    I have:
    Camburg UCA's
    Icon Resi CO

    I want:
    Deaver 10 leaf

    -------------
    first things first,

    icons are adjustable between 0-3" of lift, i would like to stay under 2.5" in front, and ideally at 2"..

    my camburgs will handle that fine with no issues


    The leaf pack i want is the Deaver 10 leaf pack that provides 1"-1.5" lift



    Time for math:

    if 1.75" is what it takes to level stock, than add 1.5" (at most) to the rear...

    Add 1.75" to 1.5" (as to keep it "level")

    so the front would now have to be 3.25" higher than the stock position to keep it level with the back (which is now 1.5" higher than stock)

    the max i would push the CO to would be +2.5" over stock

    so now my rear end with +1.5" would be .75" higher than the front....


    i think that it would look fine like this right?
