    I highly recommend an aftermarket UCA, you will benefit from them when you lift the truck.

    Researching Bilstein 6112s for the front, Bilstein 5100s for rear, Toyota light racing UCAs if needed, Pro Comp 7036 series 17s, BFG AT KO2 275/70 17s
    hi MGW88---so it lloks like you're running the same set-up i'm looking to get, how do your cvs sound with the 6112s set to highest setting? any grinding noise? kind of hesitant to set these to highest setting when i get em since a member on here said i might not want to go with highest setting due to premature wear on cvs, going with a 1.5" aal in the rear, do you think that will be ok? and can i ask what size wheels and tires you went with? i'm looking at 17s on bfg 265/70 k02

    The cv's are not making any sort of noise, however if you are concerned about premature cv wear then I would suggest not going to the highest lift setting as my cv's are not parallel with the ground. I am already expecting to have to replace the cv boots within 50k (hopefully a lot longer because I won't be beating her up). You might have a slight rake with the 1.5 AAL, however once it settles it will probably sit nicely. I am planning on adding 5160 rear piggy-back shocks and a 1.5 AAL in the future.

    As for the wheel and tire set up, I'm running matte bronze stealth 6's with 285/70/17 BFG KO2's, looks bitchin IMO :canada:
